Opens minimized or half Window
Ok so I have posted this question a few times with help, but with no resolution. When I open FF I like it to open maximized. But every time it does open it opens in half or small window, if I hold the pointer over the maximize window it will give me the option to open it maximized. but then the same thing happens the next time I open it. It never remembers my preference. I have changed the code in settings to default and had some success with that, by what I mean it will open maximized once but then go right back to half or minimized the next time I open it. I have included a pic of the way it opens when launched. No matter what I do (stretching it, resize it, delete reinstall FF) nothing seems to work. Any thoughts

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).

Where are you getting firefox from? I never had this issue once the default resize it remains even if I open a new windows it's the new size setting.
I get the install file from the Mozilla site 64bit and yes I am running the most current version.

Tried that several times, I will work once or twice but then back to the same problem
Have you enabled resist fingerprinting?
Resist Fingerprinting also affects the screen dimensions and round them to the nearest 200x100. A maximized Firefox window would reveal your screen dimensions, so new windows are opened with lower dimensions.
