On linux, it is a norm, made by freedesktop.org, that fix how a window manager and an application must deal together regarding window placement. I think it must be similar things in the other OSs. Also, it is a lot of threads into the forum about that. Finally, different users can like different behaviors.

So, maybe the right solution is to choose some sane default for the new firefox windows, and have a preference that let the user to choose if he want firefox to remember the last size, let the window manager choose the size, or use the default size.

Also, please don't allow firefox to resize already opened windows. I have a function in my desktop that resize automatically the newly opened firefox windows. when I start firefox, that function resize its window, the session manager come, I choose the session, and bang! firefox resize its window. This is not only irritating, but it is a waste of processor and of my time, as I must resize that f. crazy window. Or at least, put a preference setting for that too. Thanks a lot!

And thanks a lot for firefox!
