Firefox keeps going from full screen to small screen, every minute! I have tried to reset to original settings and tried to go to safe mode and the screen keeps minimizing. Very hard to work in the window when it is a quarter of the size of my screen.

At first I thought maybe I was hitting something, but then I just sat there for a minute (literally) and did not touch a thing and it still minimized. I have several tabs open at the top working on different classes.

It worked! If you have this problem, go into options, options, then select the content tab on the top. Click on the advanced button to the right of Enable Javascript. A new window will open, and make sure the top two buttons (raise and lower window and resize windows) are not selected. That should fix it ! Thanks
