That is what I feared.  A great shame, because my normal mode of
operation for all programs is full-screen, but I sometimes reduce a
window in order to (e.g.,) copy-and-paste some content into another
application; however, the fact that I have done so should not be
taken as an indication that my preferred mode for browser operation
is windowed.

Not sure how things work on your OS, but on mine (Win7) there's no need.

If I do CTRL-C in one app, toggle to the other, and do CTRL-V, the copy
and paste functions work fine. Neither app need be resized. I can toggle
between apps either with Alt-Tab or by clicking the relevant tile in the
Taskbar.

Alternately, if I want to drag and drop between apps, I drag to the
relevant tile on the Taskbar and wait a second; the target app maximizes
and then I mouse to the target point and drop the material where I want
it. No muss, no fuss.

P.S. If I drag/drop a URL to anywhere in a SeaMonkey browser window, it
automatically loads that page. I don't have to carefully copy/paste it
into the location bar.

The caveat there is that certain JS-heavy or Flash-based pages won't work that way. I usually drag URLs from Mail/News to the browser window (to keep from opening a new tab) and there are times when it simply doesn't work. It's always content-based when it fails.
