Windows 10: Fix FireFox extending into secondary monitor when maximized

There has been a common problem where if a user maximized the Firefox window in more than one screen environment the tip of the window will extend to the secondary monitor. To fix this problem right or left click on the top bar in Firefox and click on "Customize Toolbar". at the bottom left check "Title Bar" and click on done, which should fix the problem.

Dual Monitor Problem Browser Windows Showing Up To Big And Extending To Secondary Monitor

I have windows 10 and I have a secondary monitor connected to my laptop from HDMI to VGA and the screen resolution on the laptop is 1366 X 768 which is the recommended size. And the secondary monitor is 1920 X 1080. And I have not tinkered with the setting
on the monitor since I connected them. And I just left everything the way it was except for the monitor positioning.

I moved the monitor from the right of the laptop to above the laptop after I placed the monitor on a desk mount. So in the settings the monitor 2 is above the laptop and the laptop is the main monitor.

So when I open the Firefox, Google Chrome, or Edge all the browsers are the same size and there all to big. So on the secondary monitor there is this thin line at the bottom of the screen whenever I have a browser fully opened.

But there is something I did notice when I use Firefox and click the (3) lined button to get into options and such I can zoom in and out and the go into full screen without the tabs and such on the top showing and then the line disappears.

But I like to see the tabs without needing to mess around with the sizing and such.

I just wanted to know if there is a way to change the full size of the browser windows full when they open full. There is the minimize and maximize and then close. I want the window maximized but not full screen in full screen I can't see the tabs and such.
I want to fix this for all my browsers if possible.

Thank You!

As you can see from the image there is a white strip on the top of the browser window for Firefox and the strip goes along the bottom of the secondary monitor screen the full width of the main laptop screen. I think if I figure out a way to make all browser
windows open at a specific size then the problem would be fixed. But I don't know how to do this. I used print screen to take a picture of my 2 screens together and then I just closed in to make the picture as tight as possible. And as you can see the size
difference in the monitors are a bit different in size. The laptop screen is smaller and the secondary monitor is clearly bigger. So I need to do something that will open the browsers the same size inside the screen and not have a hang over onto the other
screen. this is the issue. And this issue only happens with browsers and when I say browsers I mean all 3 browsers that I have on my laptop are having this same issue. The Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. Are all 3 opening to big at full opened. But if I do full
screen with Firefox and hide all the tabs I don't have this issue. But I like the tabs so I know where I am at and what I am doing. Plus in full screen mode there is no buttons I can't do anything until the tabs and stuff pop back up. I'm not used to the full
screen just maximized. Any ideas would be great plus I don't know much about the programs suggest in the post.
