Firefox extends its vertical size each time it is started

This glitch happens since I've started using Firefox several years ago: every time I start Firefox it extends its vertical size by adding some pixels to its top and bottom.

How can I stop it? Restore xulstore.json each time I want to restore the FF window size doesn't look like a good idea.

Attached are screenshots of xulstore.json (colored is the current and black is the backup ones) to show the glitch clearly.

I'm currently using Windows 10 Pro.

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

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:

  • Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
  • Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
  • Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  • Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

Search for the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

No, I may not. Deleted this file several times, recreated it by Firefox. Still increases its window's vertical size.

Use these links to create a new profile. Use this new profile as is. Is the problem still there?

Yes, it is.

I called for more help.
