When I open a new window in FFox7, how can I make it automatically appear exactly on top of the previous window -- not resized, not shifted, but directly on top?

I used to set Firefox to full screen; but my new monitor is too big to do that. So I sized the Firefox window to the size I want, and I carefully centered it (using a tape measure to get it as close to dead center as possible).

But everytime I open a new window, it appears shifted slightly to the right (I think that's called cascading, but I'm not sure). While some might like this feature, I prefer it open exactly on top of the previous window; and it's a pain to have to shift the new window manually every time I open one.

How do I set Firefox to open new windows right on top of the parent window (and the same size), covering it up completely?

Thanks,

The window size is handled by the OS and has nothing to do with Firefox.

Doesn't Firefox pass along parameters for size and position on the screen to Windows?

Yes, and that makes Windows position the file with a slight offset to an already existing window at that position.

Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?
