Since upgrading to Firefox 5, each time I launch Firefox it opens in full screen mode. Is there a way to change this in preferences?
I prefer the browser window to remain the same size I left it at when I quit Firefox. It starts to load at the same size, then jumps to full screen. It has also crashed a few times & I had to force quit twice. Please let me know if there are fixes for these issues.

If you leave full screen mode (command+Shift+F) and close the Firefox application via "Firefox > Quit Firefox" to save that then Firefox should open the next time in normal mode.
If not then see:
I tried your suggestion. It did not work. It still opens in full screen mode. The link you supplied pertained to Windows. I have a Mac & do not have localstore.rdf. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
c uses the same profile folder as the Windows and Linux platform.
You can locate the Firefox Profile Folder via
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Copy and Paste this code in the Code field in the "Tools > Error Console" and click the Evaluate button to see the location of the profile folder.
