Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 624129

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.0b9) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0b9

Recently Firefox 4 (beta & trunk) introduced that the tabs are directly next to the `Firefox` button in a maximized view on Windows. While this is a very nice step it introduces some usability problems:

In Windows, users expect to be able to access common window functions using the title bar. There are basically two functions that are important but currently not accessible in Firefox:

1. Double clicking the title bar should restore the window to the original un-maximized size.
2. Clicking the title bar should give focus to the window.

As of now, the margin at the top of the maximized Firefox window is that small that even at the very top you still access the tabs instead of the global window. So function (1) is not working at all, and (2) is giving focus but also changes the current tab (as you automatically click a tab).

The optimal solution for this would be to add maybe 2-3 pixels at the top of the tabs that do not focus the tabs but the main window instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Maximize Firefox and try any of the above mentioned functions.
