Sometimes when I start Firefox maximized. The whole window has an offset on the display (to the mouse).

So you have to click as if the window would be over the full display height, but it starts lower.

Clicking on windowed, does correct the problem, then you can maximize again (Which also works)

This could be a problem with WebRender or hardware acceleration in Firefox. You can try to disable WebRender to see whether this has effect.

You can disable WebRender by setting this pref to true on the the about:config page.

  • gfx.webrender.force-disabled = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
