getting firefox to open in full screen?

Barcardi

For some reason when i loaded firefox today it opens in about 1/3rd the size of my full screen. I have forgotten how to get windows to open in full screen and stay that way. Anyone know how? The classic "clicking on it open and closed in frustration" dosnt seem to work.

Same thing happens with me. Just all of a sudden it started opening in a small window. More of an annoyance than a real problem.

Right click the icon > Properties > Shortcut Tab > Run: Maximized.

but now what about when i open a new window in firefox itself. it does the same thing and opens in about 1/3 of my screen.

once again just a major annoyance.

Stolen from another website:

An updated occured to my Firefox recently and yesterday I noticed that every time I booted Firefox, it will have a certain size and position regardless of resizing the window or moving it. Seemed as though it was no longer saving the window size and placement.

After a bit of research, I found that it was due to a corrupted LocalStore.rdf file.

The page above gives a method of fixing the problem, but for me, with Firefox closed, I simply renamed the file "localstore.rdf" (located in your ApplicationData/Mozilla/FireFox/(some profile name)/localstoer.rdf) to something else and then rebooted FireFox.
