Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When ever i 'm in 1280 X 720 (HDMI) resolution, and use Firefox,
everything is fine, i can go full screen (f11), close firefox (when in
full screen) and then change resolution to a higher resolution(1680 x
1080), everything is fine, but if i'm in high resolution 1680x1080 and
go full screen (f11) or expend the window (little square top right
corner) and close Firefox like that(using the X) then even if i reboot
or do a reconfigure of the X server, it's impossible to get back to
1280x720.

To regain lower resolution i have to open Firefox, go full screen (F11),
click on the square in top right corner and resize the window small
enough to use only 25% of the screen, then close Firefox, and then i can
change the resolution. and everything is fine.

Note: I do not get any error message when changing the resolution, it
simply goes black and then comes back to what ever it was asking if i
want to keep resolution.

logistic:
1280 x 720 > Firefox full screen > close or change resolution to > 1680 x 1080 = O.K.
1680 x 1080 > Firefox full screen > close and/or change resolution to 1280 x 720 =BAD, reboot, system reconfigure x server stuck in 1680 x 1080

1680 x 1080 > Firefox full screen > resize window to 1/4 screen > close
and/or change resolution to 1280 x 720 = O.K.
