FF automatically maximizes newly detached tabs
When I try to detach a tab, so that it's a new window, by dragging the tab downward so it isn't on the tab bar. After I let go a new window is created for that tab that I dragged, however it also maximizes the window, which disorients my work flow. Is there any way I can detach a tab into a new window and not have it maximized automatically?

Install Change New Maximized Window to Resizable, click on it in the extension panel, change "Override automatic sizing" to "Set my preferred width/height based on this window" then click "Save changes".

Is your current window maximized ?
Try to rename/remove xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.
You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page (Root directory).
