How do I open the firefox browser at full size

Postby monish » Mon 25 Sep, 2006 11:43 pm

Hi,
Whenever I open the firefox browser it opens at half size. Is there any setting I have to play with? Thanks

That's easy. Open Firefox, maximize it to full size then close it. Now whenever you open Firefox it should be full size.

Thanks for your answer. But believe me that is the first thing that anyone would do. It does not work.

Sorry I just got what you meant I should maximize it using the option on the top let not by clicking on the top right. That worked. Thanks again

My odd problem is that , while it opens maximized most of the time, occasionally, I barely find my 1.5.0.7, which appears as a "restored down" one square inch thing on the upper left. But, after I maximize it, it will come back maximized, till it decides not to. It takes breaks , at least, once each month. I have three other versions of Firefox, all with different profiles, which have never exhibited this bad habit.
