I'm sorry. I cannot explain it any differently. I have not "set" Firefox to full screen or windowed. I have left it at whatever the default is when you install it. And, yes, Firefox is the only program that I had this problem with. It was not actually "chopped" off, but just a little too far over on the right so that it hid most of the scroll bar.
And, I'm not talking about dragging the edges of the window anymore. Originally, I could not even do that. I did do it at one point (as stated prior):
"No, that doesn't help. I googled and found to "alt/spacebar" "move" "use left arrow to move the screen" "enter". It doesn't fix it though. It works for that session but closing Firefox and going back in, the screen is over to the right again.
Oh, I tried it again and this time shrunk the screen using my cursor on the side of the screen and it seems to work. I have it too small now so will have to fix it some more but I'd rather it be too small than too big."
I have it sized perfectly now and it is behaving. But still, now I am not sure, is it normal to be able to left click at the top of the screen (in the area where the tabs are) and just move the whole screen?

In a word, yes! It really does sound like you have things back to the way you want them. That moving thing is part of the snap feature. I love it. I've used it to great advantage when I want to drag and drop files from one place to another. I never have more than one window open except when I'm doing something like that, so it works for me.

That little square thing is not for full screen or windowed. It is to make the screen smaller and to maximize. If you hover over it, it will say "restore down" or "maximize. I agree - very odd! Somehow you had changed the screen size and just "restoring down" fixed it. That's the last thing I would have thought of, although it does make sense.

I'm constantly inadvertently bring up some strange screen too! Luckily, I can X out of it. I have a new clicky gaming keyboard and it's worse now as I get used to the keyboard!

That's the same one I'm talking about! The key combo to open it up must be something I am prone to hit.
