Firefox opens in a small window in top left of screen

Whenever I open firefox it opens in the top left portion of the screen with the close minimize and maximize buttons only, the maximize button is shaded the curser is in the waiting form the whole time.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

One of my bookmarks only opens in a small window & can't be maximized

for some reason when I click on my YouTube channel now in my bookmarks, it only opens in a small window to the left & can’t be maximized, nor can I see the address on the top, if I open a new tab & click on any other bookmark it goes to that website, if I copy/paste my channel it goes to it, but if I open another tab & click on my bookmark for the channel & copy/paste again it closes 1 tab.
Also, it also looks like you can only have about 10 visible bookmarks in the unsorted area (unlike favorites in IE, where you can have a very long list including folders, & if its too long for the window you just go to the bottom & hover on the bottom arrow & it auto scrolls until you find the website).

You're welcome

TS3408 When I open safari from the dock it opens as a small window at the top of the screen that is totally white and does not have a tool bar or exit options. All I can do is force quit to exit. What do I do?

With Safari open, press Command , (comma) to open Safari Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Turn that off, quit (or force quit) Safari then relaunch to test.

CS5.1 opens in a small window from LR4.1RC

When I send an image from LR4.1RC to CS5.1 (64bit), CS5 opens in a small window instead of full screen. If I open CS5 directly from the desktop, it does open full screen. I am running Vista. Is this a bug, or something with my OS? Thanks.

I assume that when PS opens from LR it is just the Restore Down size (the button you have when a window has been Maximized), and that you are able to Maximize the window and everything is fine, that this is just a nuisance. I also assume that when you say opening Photoshop alone it comes up in full screen, you just mean Maximized.
With that in mind, this shouldn't be an LR or PS bug, because I haven't heard of anybody else running into similar behavior. However, there could be some sort of interference on your system.
The first thing I would suggest is to create a new user account and test there. This will determine if some setting or other is the root of this behavior.

How do you get bookmarks selected to appear in the full screen rather than the small window to the left

When I click on a bookmarked site, some of them show up on the large screen to the right, but mostonly show up in the much smaller window to the left and are therefor useless. this is even when I've opened a new tab. I never had this problem before, but recently received a new computer and this is the result after downloading firefox in this computer.

hello davinci2, please right-click any bookmark where this is happening, go to ''properties'' and make sure that they are not set up to open in the sidebar.

How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen

How do you get PSE12 to stop opening the keyword menu at the top of the screen when you want to isolate tagged photos?????????????
it takes up 1/4 of the screen. This is so stupid. PSE10 had it done right, just a click box and boom all the photos tagged would be there!
This makes NO sense the way it is done now.
How do you turn it off, please . I am ready to send this back to amazon and go back to 10.

Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can clear some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup.

Having to press top left of screen to get headphones to play in stereo

When I plug in headphones I get music only from left side, but when I press top left of screen I then get stereo. When I release the pressure it goes back to mono.
Anyone know a fix.??
I've checkd the mono switch is off in settings.
ps: the top left side of the screen feels slightly raised.
Thanks.

Take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
There is obviously a hardware issue, likely from the device being dropped.

Top left of screen is black

top left of screen is blank
seems to be frozen

Reloading old tabs, opening in a small window

Every time I open firefox, it opens up in a small window on the top, like it only displays the address bar. I have to resize it to do or see anything. It also doesn't restore my previous session, even though it is set to. I can go to file/exit and it will open correctly, but I never have had to before, so something is different. I have been using Firefox for multiple years and this is the only time I have been frustrated with it. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still no luck, i cleared cache, history, cookies, etc. Please help

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Firefox keeps trying to be window on top

Often firefox tries to overide the current on top application window covering the current window open making it impossible to read.
Each time I have to click on the applications tab to get it to display on top again.
It is incredibly annoying as it covers not only other open windows but message boxes and save boxes.
It happens often enough that if I am doing anything serious I close firefox.

I have this myself. I don't know the cause.

IPhone 6Plus on every reboot after putting in my password it opens to a small window asking for apple id password

everything works on phone and wow it's big compared to my iPhone 5s. went with space grey since i have had 3 white phones in a row. restored via iCloud backup. updated iTunes as i have about 3,000 songs. 250 bought the rest ripped to AAC from my cc's....what a pain but switched from my windows desktop to this new rMBP late 2013 for xmas and iTunes is slightly different on a mac than windows and where everything is stored on drive.
anyhow problem is every time i reboot after putting in my password and arriving at whatever page i left at i get a very small window asking for my Apple id password. Now the top half is pre filled in with the email address i use for iCloud/itunes/apple/etc.
i did see in settings there is a checkmark i cannot remove that says for apple password "ask immediately" there are no other choices. it can't be unchecked by any method i found.
any help appreciated.

In case anyone else gets this I hit cancel once and it has never come back.

Firefox opens up an explorer window when I download a file

Recently, Firefox started opening up an Explorer window every time I download a file. It's Better Explorer, actually, since I use that to replace the Microsoft version. The folder that opens is the target destination. So it creates multiple tabs, but I expect that it would just open up multiple instances of Windows Explorer if that's what I used.
So if I download a dozen images, I get a dozen tabs opened. This doesn't happen with IE or Chrome. I do have multiple extensions installed, but I've gone through the options in Firefox and any relating to downloads and none of them seem to have anything that might cause this. I did check the Applications tab under the Firefox Options, since that seemed like a probable cause. But I don't see anything. And I don't recall changing anything recently, in any case. I can't see anything in Better Explorer that would cause this behavior. Which is borne out by this not occurring in other browsers. And I haven't changed anything it, either.
I tried downloading something with NetVideoHunter and I get the same behavior. But it doesn't happen with DownloadThemAll!
I've tried researching it on-line, but the queries I use are apparently too similar to the ones for other issues, because nothing that comes up is even close to my problem.
As this is getting very annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated. Firefox remains my favorite desktop browser and I'm not prepared to give it up over this. But I'd hate to have to reinstall it, since I have it configure just the way I want it. And I'm not even sure that would fix the issue.
Thanks

Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode safe mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
* all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
* default theme is used (no persona)
* userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
* default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
* Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
* hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
* plugins are not affected
* preferences are not affected
Your profile folder contains a user.js file, which includes preferences that were not created by Firefox.
so you may want to also check for a user.js file and DELETE that.
