Came across the following under Cool Hidden Firefox Tricks and without thinking, applied the command:

1. Make Firefox Dance.

chrome://global/content/alerts/alert.xul

It makes the Firefox window auto collapse and expand in the corner of your monitor screen.

Ran the command. Firefox does collapse in the corner of my screen, but when I click to open it up, it comes up full screen with no option to resize. I really need to undo this command.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Try the following.

  1. Press Control+T to create a new tab
  2. If Firefox is minimized, right-click on the Firefox icon in the taskbar and select Maximize
  3. If the window is moving around, pressing Control+W should stop that

You could also open the Windows Task Manager > Processes tab, then click to highlight the firefox.exe process and use the End Process button to close Firefox. Firefox should work normally when you start it up again.

Thanks Guys, I'm not positive which one worked (I tried both solutions), but Firefox is back to normal again. Next time I'm experimenting I might try it on a fresh install kept in it's own experimental folder! Thanks Jim
