When browsing various sites and clicking on say a download link or enter link or..., the browser window will get smaller. It goes anywhere from one half to one quarter the original size.

And this is happening on so called 'trusted' sites - happened on CNET the other day.

I did try reinstalling the browser once but that didn't help. It's been going on now for a month or two and is very frustrating.

Window sizes and positions are stored in localstore.rdf in the Profile Folder.

Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the Profile Folder to test if the file is corrupted.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
(caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)

Note:
Deleting the file localstore.rdf will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.
You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.
Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.
