HELP!

Ok, so somehow I have f*cked up firefox, and now instead of it opening popup type windows normal sized (like comment windows), they all open up narrow and unresizable.

I figured out how to make it allow me to manually resize the too-small windows, thanks to Mozilla, but I have no idea how to make it work right in the first place. I would prefer not to have to resize the stoopid things every time they open.

This only happens in MY Firefox profile, not my husband's or the dummy one I set up in the process of troubleshooting.

Any ideas? I know many of you are much bigger computer geeks than I am....

try trashing your profile, and then creating a new one? Unless you have lots of saved passwords, cookies and other items that will be difficult to reproduce (and you probably don't), you should be ok.

nope. Too much to migrate. It would take hours. I had to duplicate it for work once and it took all day.

I have the same problem sometimes, but then other times they pop up normally. (I have nothing helpful to say about this.)

I think the trick is to resize, have no windows open in the smaller size, exit Firefox, and then that size will save as the default. However, it will get overridden otherwise.
