In Safari I had an icon on the toolbar "open in dashboard" so a selected part of a webpage would open in my macbook-dashboard. How can I do this with Firefox?

The "open in dashboard" button in Safari allows me to make my own widget for the macbook dashboard. The widgets I am using are parts of webpages that would update regularly. Is there an equivalent in Firefox?

Another shortcut for maximizing the currently active window is to press Alt+Spacebar followed by x for maximize.
A past thread on this problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen].
Do you have multiple monitors by any chance? If so, can you set the monitor where you want Firefox to "primary"?
If this problem persists -- in other words, if Firefox stops saving the new position of its window(s) correctly between sessions -- the settings file that stores the last window position may be corrupted. You could try removing that file and let Firefox use its default sizing and positioning. Note: this also will default some toolbar customizations.
Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button to open a new window showing your currently active settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Is the window visible?
