Whenever I open the browser, it immediately minimizes and I have to click in the corner to get the full screen. How can I change this?

The browser opens, then immediately minimizes to about 1/4 screen size. I have to click the corner box to maximize to full screen. It stays that way until I close it. But it happens every time I open it.

Sorry you did not receive an understandable solution. First of all try rrcovering from the situation using Firefox's safe mode try that and post back with ow you get on. This is the easy option from the link in cor-el 's post, if it does not work you may have to try the hard version !

Try to start firefox in safe mode

  1. either hold the shift key when starting firefox or
    use Firefox Button -> Help -> Restart with Add-ons disabled
  2. does it start in safe mode ok ?
    do you see the safe mode options as shown in the screen-shot ?
    NOTE you will loose some toolbar customisation when you proceed to the last step
  3. unlikely, but you may even see the problem is solved whilst at this stage and in safe mode, if so please mention this, it is a pointer as to what the problem is.
  4. click on the option checkbox -> [] Reset toolbars and controls

I'm going to need a solution that is more understandable to me. I got lost in all those instructions. Whatever I tried didn't work.

Your suggestions didn't seem to work. But then I updated and reinstalled some plug=ins and it seems to be working correctly now. I'll let you know if the problem returns. Thanks for your help.
