Why is window border thicker than in other windows? I think that Windows Vista/7 even so has borders thick enough so why to make it even thicker?

It should be a pixel or so thinner.

Reproducible: Always

Just to clarify, you're referring to the window's glass border, and not the 1px chrome border?

Yes, there are so many borders that it’s quite puzzling ;), I’m referring to the window glass border. I’m posting an attachment where you can see that in window of e.g. Adobe Reader the core of the border (that means excluding it’s own borders if I can say it like that) is 4 or 5 px thick, while in Firefox it is 7 px thick.

UX team has been aware of this.

I thought I had seen another bug for this already, but I'm not certain, so cc'ing persons who might know.
