I notice this bug for a long time. Currently, there is no good solution.

i actually like this "bug".  Would accept having it work the right way 
(allowing the
taskbar).  I'd be happy to see an option to leave the taskbar unavailable in the
settings.

In overlay.js change in two places window.screen.availHeight to
window.screen.availHeight-1

This leaves 1px at the bottom for the Taskbar to popup.

This works for when using the maximize button.  If you resize a non-maximized 
screen
to fill the whole screen in order to show the caption bar then what I did was to
manually with my mouse grab the bottom and move it up about 2px or so.  FF will
remember your settings  There is a frame around the edges so it will require a 
little
more room.

I tried to find where in overlay.js this might be changed but as yet no dice.

I have actually grown to like this feature, at least when on my netbook.  I get 
some
extra screen real estate and don't accidentally pop up the task bar because of 
the
super sensitive movements of the touchpad.

So there is no official fix for this issue yet?

Just do as garyshap suggested. -2px works good (-1 px is not enough on Win7)
And about resizing window manually... this may be unfixable, at least I can't 
fix it
on win7 since all normal windows automatically maximized by width/height of
fullscreen if I trying to stretch them to full screen.

P.S.
I really miss "edit" button here -_-

I put the taskbar on the top and have the same issue...

I edit the overlay.js file like  garyshap did and it works
