Firefox opens at my home page as desired, but it is on a window in the upper right corner, about 4"wide and 3" tall. It readily drags out into a full-sized display, but I want it to open that way, as it did before I updated to yesterday's version of Firefox. i find no options immediately obvious to set this opening size as a default. How do I do this? Also, I now have a problem with Flash crashing that I did not have before the update. How do I fix that?

You may have a corrupt localstore.rdf file. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved

The localstore.rdf file is no longer used in Firefox 34 and later releases and has been replaced by xulstore.json.

Thank you all for your response. Suddenly, the situation cured itself, and I still don't know what caused it. Firefox now opens into a full-sized window. Thanks again for your attention.

I see that you have some crash reports that are about the Shockwave Flash plugin: [01]: bp-a31ffcb4-3e5b-4b23-8de5-937882141220 Dec 20, 2014 [02]: bp-7d52f4a1-089a-4d31-8aa3-69f032141220 Dec 20, 2014 [03]: bp-6cdee826-9d02-4ce0-8f8a-024b32141220 Dec 20, 2014 [04]: bp-e9dc97d3-517c-47e3-b10e-297ed2141220 Dec 20, 2014 [05]: bp-de31fda4-3917-4af6-bacc-f5c8a2141219 Dec 19, 2014 [06]: bp-b661efb7-03e5-4153-9cfc-9d23d2141219 Dec 19, 2014 [07]: bp-8dd43aef-5444-473c-ab95-9ec102141219 Dec 19, 2014
