The default size of my Firefox windows is too wide and too short. I can resize them individually by dragging their boundaries, but when I restart Firefox they return to that same annoying too wide and too short default size.

Used to be when I restarted Firefox, the browser windows would remain at their previous sizes, right where I had previously set them. It's aggravating to have to repeatedly resize my Firefox windows. My personal choice usually mimics the size of a "Portrait" page in my word processor, Often I want to see two windows side by side. I am about ready to go back to Internet Explorer, where I do not have to put up with this each time I restart IE,

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved You may have corrupt xulstore.json or Localstore.rdf files.

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:

  • Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
  • Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data
    \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Search for the above files. Then rename or delete them. Restart Firefox.

What version did you have before this started happening? And what's the current version.
