How can I force firefox to open every new window at full size of the screen ?

When I firefox, it reloads my opened windows, but not always at full size.
So I have to resize each window manualy.
Is it possible to force firefox to open every window at full size of the screen ?
Or is it possible to Maximize every window already open in one click ? (like the use of CTRL key in Windows)

Try experimenting with this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
By the way, if you have McAfee Site Advisor installed, disable it because it interferes with the way Firefox functions.

  • How can I force Firefox to open a new window (tab) a certain size. I need a smaller box but it always opens full screen.

    I get tired of having to click on the upper right box every time I need the smaller window, which is VERY frequently. I teach college online and need to see only a portion of the large screen as the rest may distract me while grading. This COULD prove unfair to my students.

    Don't know if this is the answer you want, but it gives you an idea of what you can do.
    * Using the window.open method<br>http://www.javascript-coder.com/window-popup/javascript-window-open.phtml
    You can resize an existing window with a bookmarklet, but you would have to be able to initiate the bookmarklet from the window.
    * javascript:self.resizeTo(642,364);self.moveTo(0,0);
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm look for "resize -" in the k.html file listed.

  • How do I get firefox to open a new window when i click on a link in a webpage ?

    When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.
    For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.
    I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link
    *right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"
    Open link/bookmark in new window:
    * Shift+Enter on the link
    * Shift+left click on the link

  • How can I stop Firefox from opening a new Tab as Babylon Search?

    So I recently downloaded Babylon (for an offer), and Babylon search started to open when I open a new Tab. I've uninstalled the Babylon program and the Search Add-On, but it still keeps on opening. is there any possible way that I can fix this? I want to open my new Tab as a blank page.

    Hello, i'll teach you how:
    # First, at the web address, go to about:config
    # When a warning shows up, just hit "I'll be careful, I promise!"
    # Then at the search bar, just type this - browser.newtab.url
    # Just right click on the result, and hit "Reset"
    View the picture I've attached for reference.
    That's it!

  • How do I change firefox to open a new window when I start it several times instead of opening a new tab when I want to go to a different location?

    I want to go to several different websites at the same time. I want to compare the information on each site. I do not want to open a tab, I want a whole new window. How do I change firefox so it will open a new window instead of opening a new tab and then requesting the site I want to go to?

    In Windows XP I am able to right click a link and get an option to open it as a new Firefox window
    *'''tear off tabs'''
    You will probably note tabs can be dragged along the tab toolbar, they also tear off. You can click a tab and drag it off the browser onto the Windows Desktop where it will open as a new window, or drag it on to another open browser window.
    An alternative is to click the tab and drag it down, again it will then open in a new Window.

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new window when I go to a search item?

    When I do a search, and click on a topic, Firefox opens a new window on the tool bar at the bottom of my screen. How can I stop this from happening?

    I'm guessing you use Google for search. There is a setting in Google search to open each result in a new window. (When you use tabbed browsing, that means each result opens in a new tab.) You can check on whether you have that setting turned on as follows:
    On a Google results page, click the button on the right side with the "gear" icon, then click Search Settings from the drop-down list. At the bottom of the page is the setting to open results in a new window.
    Is that the culprit?

  • Whenever firefox opens a new window a bar comes across the screen at the top with the word "allow" or an "X" on the right side. When I use allow, it closes.

    This happens when I have only one tab, or window, open. Example, I am on a site like my banking site, and each time I click for a new operation, the black bar comes on just under my tool bar and asks if I want to allow the move to a new page, but it does not open a new window. If I hit allow, it usually closes my site and I have to log on again. If I hit the x, it also closes the window and I have to log on again. This has happened on a pc and at home on my mac.

    This?
    *Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • How do I force firefox to open a new URl on the current viewed tab or a new one. It opnes the URl on an existing Non viewed tab

    I have tried all the tab option and can not get Firefox to act like it did on the previous version. Firefox does not display the new url in the existing open tab or a new tab. Since installing the update, it opens the url in an existing backgound tab.

    Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:
    *Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
    *Ctrl+left click the link

  • How can I set Firefox to open a new e-mail window from a contact link in a web site in Gmail rather than in Microsoft Outlook?

    When I click on a "Contact Us" e-mail link in a web site, Firefox opens the blank e-mail window in Microsoft Outlook. I rarely use that program any more; I use Gmail instead. Is there anyway I can change the settings in Firefox so that it will open a Gmail window instead?

  • When I create a shortcut to a web page from FireFox to the desktop, how can I force Firefox to open from it when I.E. is default and has to stay that way?

    I have a customer that likes to use Firefox browser and does for all they can. Unfortunately they have to also us I.E. with some of their business companies so their browser is set to I.E. by default and must stay that way. Tried changing default for brevity we will just say opened to many other problems. SO, is there a way to create a short cut to the desktop from Firefox and force that shortcut to open with Firefox and not with the default browser IE?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hello,
    You can create a new Firefox shortcut on the desktop and add the website address after Firefox. For example:
    Under the shortcut tab, the target could read:
    * "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "www.google.ca"

  • How can I force Firefox to open webm files in a external application like mplayer?

    I want to open webm files from browsing sites (for example tagesschau.de) in mplayer through 'xterm -e' where I set a specific placement of the window and other parameters. Setting media.webm.enabled to false only disabled internal player, but does not open any option under Preferences -> File Types. Playing with advanced configuration I tried creating media.webm.handler{,default,application} according to other file type that are set to external applications. No luck. I have set mp4 files to use the same script (with execution permission) and it works exactly as I want.
    Script:
    <pre><nowiki>#!/bin/bash
    FILENAME="`basename "$@"`"
    xterm -fs 24 -bg black -fg white -title "$FILENAME" -geometry 96x8 -e "echo \"$FILENAME\"'\\nfrom\\n'\"$@\" && \
    mplayer -geometry 100%:100% -vf dsize=400:-3 -volume 80 \"$@\" "</nowiki></pre>
    The script itself works when I feed it a webm url (or any other media for that fact).
    Linux 3.9.9-1-ARCH x86_64 GNU/Linux

    I don't know about linux cos i'm win user. But you may start with disabling internal webm support. about:config -> media.webm and then I think you should install greasemonkey addon and custom script for playing content in 3rd partys players. (At least that is my configuration. I'm using VLC for youtube)

  • How can i stop firefox from opening a new tab everytime I click anything on the browser

I can't even finish typing this because I had to scroll down to see the full page.

    hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
