A window dragged into a smaller secondary display,
reopens (after FF restart) with bottom rather than top

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Drag 1280x1024 FF window into 1440x960 display.
2.Restart FF.
3.Behold 1280x1028 window opened on 1440x960,
but with bottom of 1028 aligned to bottom of 960.
(Titlebar and controls are inaccessibly off screen.)

Actual Results:  
1280x1024 FF window opens on correct (secondary, 1440x960) monitor.
Problem: bottom edge of the 1024 height is aligned to bottom of 960.
Thus, titlebar and window controls are offscreen and inaccessible.

Expected Results:  
When the window is first moved, titlebar and controls are within mouse reach.
Expect original alignment, or at least to have controls available.
(Perhaps refuse to open window with controls out of view?)

I'll try to reproduce on OS X.
