Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0.1

It's reopened at around 20px to the right of the left screen edge

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open FF
2. Move the window so that the left of the window is exactly at the left screen edge
3. Close FF
4. Reopen FF

Actual Results:  
The window is moved a bit to the right

Expected Results:  
The window should be reopened at the exact location when FF was closed
Version: unspecified → 4.0 Branch
Only happens if the window is located at the very top of the screen.
I could not reproduce the issue on:
 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:6.0a1) Gecko/20110522 Firefox/6.0a1

*Note: Can you attach a screenshot of the issue? Considering the steps described it seems that this is a corner case.
This issue actually happens on only 1 of my computers.

Upon restart of FF, it seems that the window is located as if I had opened a new window (Ctrl+N) (with the first window located at the edge of the screen). So I guess FF didn't register that the first window was closed. I will do a video, and check if the FF process really died between closing the window and restarting.
