Mozilla Firefox Window Position and Size
 

Right, this has driven me insane for the last time.

I have Mozilla Firefox installed and when I open it up, it INSISTS on opening in half my resolution and I can't get it to stay maximised after closing it.

Tried reinstalling it plenty of times, no use and I'm not sure what is the cause of the problem.

Please anyone, any ideas on how to fix this?


Thanks in advance.

Couple of possible solutions:

1. Here's how mine is set up. (btw, I don't really know the official name for buttons..)
Upper right there's a button.. between the "minimize to taskbar" and "close" button
That button switches to/from "maximize" mode and a "scalable" mode.. which I think is what you have if it was half resolution.
All I did was scale it to cover my screen and close Firefox. When it opens it should still be scaled to your screen size.

2. Go to the properties of your Firefox shortcut. Under "run" you can set it to "maximize"

3. I'm not sure of this works.. but I read that you can hold shift and press "X" in Firefox for it to remember what scale it was in.

Many thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, I have already tried every one of your solutions beforehand.

I even went back and did them again, just in case I missed something, but to no avail.

Will keep looking into the matter, thanks though.

Why don't you try and delete localstore.rdf (It contains your Firefox configurations.) and then restart Firefox? It should re-create the file, changing the settings back to default, but make a backup of the file just in case it doesn't re-create it.
