How do I get my Firefox web browser to always open new windows in the maximized form. My computer flipped out today and it won't open them like it use to. I also lost my google search bar and bookmarks for no reason. Not sure why...anyway...any ideas???

What happened right before it 'flipped out' and you lost your Firefox settings?

First thing I'd try is an uninstall and reinstall.

Thanks dolanp. That fixed it. Not sure what happened. Just booted it up and it was acting funny. Anyway, problem solved.

What, when you open in a new window it was a small window?

If this happens, shut the browser down and restart with just the one window.  Click on the "Maximize/Windowize" button (center, between _ and X) until the window is not fullscreen.  Drag the limits of this window out to the size you like.  Re-maximize the window.

Now when you open in a new window from a windowized screen, it will be the windowized size you set.  If you want it to open in a maximized window, open it from a maximized screen.
