Lost window borders in Firefox while loading a local html file

Question

enter image description here

Firefox 16, Ubuntu 12.04, Gnome Classic Session, Compiz effects enabled. Is this a bug? Anybody else having this? What shall I do?

Does this really only happen with local HTML files? You screenshot suggests that you open a normal webpage. — qbi, Nov 01 '12 at 14:19
I think, your unity crashed. Look at this question how do I reset unity config? — Anwar, Nov 01 '12 at 14:29
@qbi : Yes! I switched the tabs. I just loaded an empty html file. A.S. - I'm not using Unity... I'm on Gnome Classic Session. :( — Naveen, Nov 01 '12 at 14:34

Open a terminal and install compizconfig-settings-manager
```
 sudo apt-get install  compizconfig-settings-manager
```
Then open it by going to Menu → System tools → Preferences in Gnome-classic.
Click on the Preference button on the left side (bottom)
In the Profile section, there is a button named Reset to defaults. Click on that button. Wait.... and then Logout from the session
Login again to see the result

Note: If the resetting get frozen, Try to Logout from the session forcefully, by using Ctrl-Alt-Del keyboard shortcut.

Thanks, but do i need to give up on my effects to do this? I forgot to say, i'm using patched compiz called 'compiz preprosed' or some thing from a ppa. I'll update the question. – Naveen Nov 01 '12 at 15:48
@Naveen I think, yes. The settings will be reset to defaults. but you can then re-customize the settings – Anwar Nov 01 '12 at 16:31
