Cannot move the window off screen without it rebounding

I had this problem on another computer and managed to find a solution online. However I can't find this again. Basically, when I try to drag a window off the edge of the screen, it rebounds back. A transparent box appears on my background if I hold the window over the edge of the screen which the window then automatically moves to when I release. If I try to move the window even a little bit over the top of the screen it automatically maximises when released. Moving off the left edge brings it back to the left side and the right the right.

This is not a Firefox support question unless Firefox's window is the only window that you can't drag off screen. I believe this is a Windows setting, but I can't be sure.

It happend when I tryed to move the window to the right side. Problem is solved moving window to the left side and letting win 7 set it up on the full left half of the screen. After that everything is back to normal.
