start page minimized; how do I make run maximized? I am a long time user running Windows 10, Roboform, Norton 360. Firefox opens new pages maximized after I have resized the start page.

Chosen solution

%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ stores the profile folder(s), each has a random name (xxxxxxxx.default-release). You need to open the actual profile folder and look for xulstore.json in that folder.

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

You can try to rename/remove xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:

  • Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
  • Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Search for the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.
