My Firefox window is either 1" or full screen, where is mid size

instead of having window sizes of full, mid and minimize, I now have full, ~1" which is too small to use and minimize. how do I return to a mid size window that is usable?

Try to open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that small window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Window does not open to full screen???

This one has me stumped. I recently installed / upgraded to CS5.1, set up all my preferences, keyboard shortcuts, presets, plugins. All worked fine, day in - day out, for the last three weeks.
About three days ago this anomaly appeared...
When I zoom in (cmd +/), the window will resize, but only part way. The window will move over flush right on the monitor, but leave about one inch of space between the window and the left side of the monitor, and increase in size until it fits aprox 2/3rds of the monitor / screen. It stops enlarging and leaves about 3 inches of space between the window and the bottom of the screen. At that point I get scroll bars. So I end up with a much smaller window to work in.
I can grab the bottom right corner of the window, pull it open to fill the screen, but as soon as I go to zoom in or out, the window jumps back to the smaller size with the gap on the left side and bottom.
It's driving me crazy!! having to work in such a small window.
Option bar is "Standard Screen Mode"
All my pallets are on a separate monitor, so nothing else is on my main monitor that would limit the size of my window as I zoom in.
My preferences are set to:
• Zoom Resizes Windows
• Enable Flick Panning (works fine)
• Animated Zoom
OS 10.5x
10GB ram
I don't know if I inadvertently changed something to cause this. So I'm hoping someone here can solve this issue.
Thanks in advance!

Grant,
upon further investigation, the "application frame" yields other unwanted effects.
That setting gives me tabbed viewing (which I don't want), even though I have that turned off in preferences. When I open multiple documents they open not as individual windows, but as a tab in the one open window. When I go into the options bar and set the "arrange documents" to "float in windows", I get the individual windows, but then I get the same problem of the windows not zooming to the full screen, as stated in my original posting.
Also, just saw that even with the "application frame" checked, when I open a smart object layer, that window still has the same zoom issue.
So the problem still exists.
Any other ideas?
fyi: here is a screen capture of the original screen / zoom issue.
You can see the gray space on the left and bottom. The scroll bars are showing and the window will not get any larger.
Thanks JeffN

My safari window is disappearing in non full screen mode OSX Lion

Hi Guys,
I seem to have the following problem. not sure exactly how it started as my wife was using the mac at the time (she says she just dragged the safari to different desktop via mission control) but now the situation is as follows:
When I hit safari icon it switches on (I can see the little light dot underneath the icon and after right click I can see names of windows that are opened) however I can only see the Safari menu at the top but no window. If I scroll to the right or left to different desktops it's not there, the same goes if I double tap to see the Mission Control mode it's not there...
I so far figured out that once the Safari menu is visible on top of the screen I can go to View>Enter Full Screen and then Safari will come back into the full screen mode but once I unclick the full screen button in right top corner the whole window just swoops into the right top corner and it's nowhere to be found again.
I have rebooted and it's still the same - I can only get the full screen mode or none. it's very weird. Anyone's got any suggestions?

Thank you,
That's not it - Hot corners are not active, it's more like when you normally click the full screen on/off button (the two arrows facing each other) the transition happens with gray apple background and it moves either to or from full screen but here the background comes on and the window just goes into the corner and it's gone. Then when in Safari menu I go View>Enter Full Screen the window comes back exactly the same way: from top right corner into the whole screen.
Like I can only use Safai in Full Screen mode..

When starting Firefox 36 I Sometimes Get a Full Screen Black Screen

OK, I have NEVER before had this iisue with Firefox. ONLY after the use of Firefox 36 has it been happening.
I have seen similar issues mentioned on some other web sites, but no real answers.
What happens is after I have been surfing, a while, I shut down Firefox, and there are NO issues.
When I restart Firefox, it will sometimes come up with the ENTIRE screen black. The monitor power LED indicates I have signal and all that but nothing on screen I have to try various things and then I get my screen back. Now, as I stated, I have seen mention of this on other sites, BUT, no solid usable answers to how to fix let alone why it happens. They seem to mention that with as they call it "some types of web sites" cause some sort of issue with FF. Oh and it always was with older versions of FF (usually from FF 28 to FF 33) which also claim that "this issue should be cleared up with the next release".
Now, I do NOT have use hardware acceleration checked as I know it is an issue on my machine.
And NO safe mode does not appear to anything, but may ahve to do a bit more research.
BUT, what I really would like to know is if it is an addon, why is this issue SO random. I can surf a bunch of sites and quit FF, and restart FF and no issue, yet other times black screen again. This is why I am leaning toward it NOT being an addon, but instead something else. As to what? I have NO clue.
That is why I am posting here to see if any useful ideas crop up.

<blockquote>
You are talking about the whole screen, not just the Firefox window, yes?
Do you keep FF full screen? Try using the '''Restore Down''' (next to the
red X) to have FF in a smaller window. Then close / reopen.
Check this:
* see if there are updates for your graphics drive drivers
'''https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration'''
* disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)

OK, first item, NO I never use FF fullscreen EVER.
Second. I am using a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 PCI 128MB card. I have the last driver EVER released for it installed.
Third hardware acceleration is OFF in Flash as well as FF.
And lastly, the items I see listed in the FAQ for Flash Protected Mode DO NOT apply to me as this is when starting FF not when viewing YouTube videos.
And yes, back to your 1st question it is the ENTIRE screen. And like I stated in OP it happens randomly I have never even tried to figure out which sites cause it because I simply surf so many in the course of a session that would literally be impossible.

How do I set Firefox to start on login in full screen mode and permanently disable the tool bars?

I am trying to set up a touch screen windows 7 lenovo desktop for use by older users with no prior experiance of PC's. I would like Firefox to start on login and open in full screen mode, with all toolbars disabled. Is this possible? and if so how do I go about doing this?

If you close Firefox 4 while in full screen mode then the browser should start in full screen mode the next time. That setting is stored in localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].
If you want to prevent toolbars from opening if you hover to the top then hide the full-screen-toggler with code in userChrome.css
Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

Satellite A300-20P - Games with Windows 7 not working in full screen

I have Satellite A300-20P and VGA ATI 3650
I made upgrade to Windows 7 Professional
All games working well but not in full screen. I installed the last driver for ATI for Windows 7. It was working in full screen in Vista before I make upgrade.
Same problem on my brother`s laptop after he make upgrade to Windows 7.

Hi
Normally you can change the screen resolution in every game and if they should run in full screen mode or not. Check this!!!
Can you also tell us what display driver you have installed? The drivers from the Toshiba page are for desktop cards and not for mobile cards. So please use only the Toshiba drivers.

Window order question when using Full screen

Hello all,
This is my first time posting.. Probably many more to come.. But this is probably a really easy question. I am really new to Cocoa and am picking it up slowly one step at a time.
I am making an application where I need a full screen animation to work with. I have been able to get that up and running and have been able to use a keyboard event to toggle the window to go to full screen and back to window size. However, once I go from the window (which when the app starts is window size) to full screen then back to window I cannot go back into full screen without reselecting that window. What can I do to get it so it will go back and forth all day without having to physically click the window? I have tried using the [self becomeFirstResponder] after it exits full screen and didn't help. I am using the [self enterFullScreenMode:[NSScreen mainScreen] withOptions:nil]. This will be on a MacMini installed kind of like a kiosk so it won't have a keyboard and mouse at all times.. And I might be only using the apple remote or something like that for control.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi speluttiero!
I've got the exact same problem, with MacBook Pro Core i5. 64 bit Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
It even crashes the whole Windows every now and then when playing flash full screen.. screen goes blank, some strage noise from speakers, and then requires reboot. Anyone any idea what's the problem?

How can i turn the inbox window in ipad mail into full screen size?

When full screen - where is the Styles Drawer?

Hi -
I was exploring IBooks Author and having a ball. It looks great in full screen mode.
What I can't figure out is where the Styles Drawer is supposed to be when in full screen mode? I know where it is in normal viewing mode but it can't be reached in that spot when FS.
Is there a trick to it or just something Apple missed.
TIA your input.

By design, items hung outside the primary window are disabled. Use the built-in menus are needed and if you like, feel free to request a different option, etc, via iBA's Feedback menu.
My advice, tho is to use the biggest monitor you can and more than one if possible

My firefox browser window will not stay in full screen mode, it keeps reducing itself so I can't use the scroll down button on the side, so I have to constantly minimize and maximize to get to the scroll bar, How can I stop this?

Like I said it happens every few minutes... It is annoying when you are on the internet for more than a few minutes because you constantly have to either minimize it or reduce the screen manually by hitting the button and then maximize it again to get the scroll bar to be in view to use it.

Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

How do we replace Firefox 4.0.1 with 3.6? Nothing but problems with 4.0. Firefox window is splintering all over computer screens, losing our tool bars etc.

Upgraded to the most current Firefox 4.0.? It has taken over 2 screens of our Mac Pro computer (not the computer I'm using to write this). The window splinters and duplicates itself over and over causing problems with all the other programs. It also leaves ghost lines on screen. Even though we have closed things, it opens everything we have had open the day before.
DON'T WANT A BUNCH OF CURES. Just want to go back to 3.6. If you have a link to it, please provide.

PS: did i mention that I am not able to access my online banking, etc? i apologize for the cranky tone of this post, but i am really desperate and need quick assistance in how to remove the current version of firefox and reload the last one.

Firefox is now not extending to full screen upon start-up

Firefox used to open msn homepage completely to the edges of our computer screen, excepting browser .. now.. inexplicably, it leaves a border of desktop background showing. We wish it to return to previous format. (?)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Between last night and this morning, while computer OFF.

Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see it.<br />
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
