ToggleDecor, Firefox, Chrome, Zoom, and a lack of amusement

I recently read the Bug threads on Firefox/Mozilla concerning the change 
they made to drop window decorations from Firefox. They basically hand 
wave off the terrible decision and implementation with "It's been this way 
on MacOS and Windows forever". Then they trash Fluxbox and act like it's 
the fault of the Window Manager somehow, when in fact, they are simply 
abusing privileged they probably should never have had (getting rid of my 
Decor). If you want to read the thread, I can dig it up. In fact, the last 
entry suggests that Mozilla won't support or change anything unless it's 
for GNOME.

I have had reasonable luck with using "ToggleDecor" bound to a keystroke 
but lately some applications still won't show the Fluxbox titlebar even 
after using this technique.

Can I just throw a suggestion for a new configuration directive/option to 
absolutely disable this functionality/feature from any application? Ie...

AlwaysForceDecor: True

Or something like that? I really really hate this behavior by these 
applications that seem to consider themselves "above" minding my window 
manager. Maybe this is a good idea in some situations, but I can't think 
of what those would be. Even if it resulted in ever "Save As" sub-dialog 
having it's own decor, I'd still find that a lot better than the current 
behavior of "We took your toolbar. Haha. 'Upgrade' to windows, bruh".

Thanks so much for maintaining Fluxbox. I've been a user for ... uhm, 
about 21 years? I switched from Blackbox.

Thanks,
