Somehow, Firefox has taken over my screen. All the window manager features - such as the close, maximize at the top, and the resize corner at the bottom - have gone! Firefox has resized to cover the whole screen - even the Fluxbox toolbar at the bottom. IT still works fine, but the only way to use another program is to go to the file menu of Firefox and exit the program.

I suspect it was the Electra Bikes website, I think it did some kind of window resizing thing.

Any ideas on how to get the window frame back?

Try f11 (which you may have possibly hit). If that doesn't work and you're using jwm, right click on the tray entry for firefox and scroll to resize.

F11 doesn't do the trick. That just changes FF within the window manager frame.

I'm using Fluxbox, the defauly window manager.

Hold alt down while dragging with right mouse click then til it's the size you want.
