V6 only opens maximized, won't size down
Since I updated to V6, I've had a lot of probs, but this 1 takes the cake - I can only open it maximized & when I try to get it to size down with the double box, size down icon in the upper rt corner, not only won't it return to some smaller size so I can manually resize it, but it simply disappears to the start bar & when I try to do anything with a rt click on the start bar icon, all I can get is `maximize'
Needless to say, I regret updating & wish there was a button somewhere to `return to the previous version'

Try hitting F11.
Yes, worked, thanks - However there's another prob - when I shut down & then want to restart, FFx tells me there's still a version running, so I have to shut it down (which I just did) or reboot my computer - Bummer!

Must be the "hang at exit" problem.
- Stop the Firefox process:
- Mozillazine - Kill application
- Windows 7 users click here
- Why Firefox may hang:
- Firefox hangs (see Hang at exit)
- Firefox hangs (Mozillazine) (see Hang at exit and Closing Firefox properly)
- Firefox is already running but is not responding
- Use Firefox Safe Mode to find a problem with an Extension or Plugin:
- Don't check anything when entering Safe Mode, just continue
- If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode it is probably and Extension or Plugin causing the problem

Not related to your question, but...
You need to update some plug-ins:
- Plug-in check: https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Shockwave Flash (Adobe Flash or Flash): Updating Flash in Firefox

Yes, the `file' exit strategy helps stop the hang at exit, thus preventing a total reboot, but I've noticed another couple of probs - instead of FFx reloading his previous session, I have this `session from hell' thing still happening
You see every so often it reloads a 5 tab session from months & months ago, so I have to go to a separate session mgr add-on to try to get back to where FFx was when I closed it
Therefore I'd love to be able to completely make the `session from hell', which keeps coming back like a zombie, disappear from FFx forever
