Firefox for small screens (EEE, Wind, 4211, Aspire One etc)
Source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=915313
Ok, I'll be the first to admit that the 1024 x 600 screen on my EEE 1000H is a tad small. However, there are some ways you can get better value for your screen real estate in the Firefox browser, which I assume many of you use.

Subscribe to RSS feeds in Thunderbird from Firefox
After much hair-pulling I've managed to get firefox 3 and thunderbird to play nice in intrepid when it comes to 'clicky' rss feed subscriptions. Some of the other solutions didn't work as thunderbird couldn't validate any feed that didn't start with http:// (ie: feed://) .. so here's a quick fix...

Firefox Window border is missing
Question:
This seems to only be a problem in Firefox, but there is no window border. I cannot resize or move the window. It just occupies the entire screen, with no border on top. The window spans the full screen, so there is no gnome menus, which I usually have on the top and bottom of my screen. Please help. Thanks.
