Each new event of a browser window moves 1/4" to the right of the previous browser window.

If I open multiple browser windows, each one moves about 1/4 inch to the right of the previous browser window. So if for example I opened 12 new browser windows, the 12th one would end up about 3 inches to the right of the first one. This is most annoying. How do I get each new browser window to open in precisely the same place as the previous browser window already open?

Any help would be much appreciated.

There are two possibilities I can think of.

1. Have you enabled resistFingerprinting?

2. The xulstore.json file is corrupt. Try renaming it with Firefox closed.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the suggestions.

resistFingerprinting = false

As for renaming xulstore.json, I tried that and it made the situation worse. Successive browser windows not only moved 1/4" to the right but also 1/4" down.
