I can't replicate either problem, but yes they might well be related. On an 8.1 system, with firefox at the bottom of the screen the Open File dialog is slightly above firefox's window (still perfectly visible, this is about 70% of the way up the screen). But if I move firefox to the top of the screen, Open File opens below the top of firefox's window. On a system from last week (57.0.1, but the changes from 57.0 are minimal) - if I maximize firefox and then kill it, it initially opens in its normal place and then moves to full-screen. If I close it regularly after maximizing, it opens full-screen when I next open it, and the Open File window is approximately in the centre of the screen. After maximizing, the maximize icon doesn't do anything (I expected it to restore to normal size and position), but I can grab the corner of the window and pull it down and in to be my normal sort of size. I can't test this on my low height 1600x900 monitor, I've swapped the machines over but at the moment I'm not getting a video signal from the desktop box which is now sitting there (and it is mostly retired, because of iffiness - I suspect the mobo undervoltages the 8GB of RAM). My netbook (1024x600 screen, i686 atom) does run (binary) firefox maximized, and when that box powers off while sleeping, which it has been doing a lot in the last 2 weeks, firefox resumes at its maximized size. All my desktop machines at the moment use VGA monitors (15-pin D-SUB) and are AMD (radeon, radeonsi) or intel. What is your screen size (pixels, actual) and how is it connected ? Also, what brand of video card/chipset ?
