Yes, I am aware of that. In Sawfish, it is even possible to enable
movement and resizing of maximized windows as well. IIRC it is not enabled
by default, but it can be configured this way.

On my workstation with large monitor, I indeed run Firefox as vertically
maximized, in order to fit the 80-column terminal window next to it.
On my laptop with much smaller screen, I use Firefox maximized in both
directions.
