Firefox always opens off centre?

AnonymousUser

Whenever I open Firefox, the entire browser screen is "off centre" to the left - cutting off part of the left side of the browser and so you can see part of the desktop below. I have to drag it back to the right on the horizontal axis to make it centre again. I am running the latest version of Firefox.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Not sure - about 2-3 weeks ago I think

Window sizes and positions are stored in localstore.rdf in the Profile Folder.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)

Note: Deleting the file localstore.rdf will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults. You can rename localstore.rdf to localstore.rdf.sav to test if that solves it. Then you can restore the customization by copying localstore.rdf.sav to localstore.rdf if it didn't work.
