The share window is too big to use when I click share to Facebook. It fills the whole monitor (23")

I click share, msnbc.com or you tube and the window that pops up is so big that I cannot see the share button. It is behind the task bar.

I think you should be able to change the size of the window. Try this:

  1. Open a new window with facebook logged in
  2. Resize the window
  3. Close the window
  4. Restart Firefox
  5. Try the share button to Facebook

Did that change the size of the window?

Resizing the window is exactly what I cannot do !!!

The problem is not solved and I see no field to say so.

I cannot resize a pop up window in firefox. It jumps back to its big size.

Changing the size of the window is the problem.

Got it, my apologies for not getting that part. You can delete this folder in your profile to get rid of any corrupt default window sizes: Delete xulstore.json file

Restart Firefox after deleting the file, if the file is not there, try deleting all the stored cookies for the site. It will be under General of the Control Center (accessed from the taskbar) Site Information panel

If you do not mind sharing the url and the link where this happens, we can also confirm if this is just a feature of the website.

Thank you!

Can you open the system menu via Alt+Space?

Try to rename/remove xulstore.json in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.

"AppData" (XP: Application Data; Mac: ~/Library; Linux: ~/.mozilla) is a hidden folder.

I deleted that file; it was easy to find (( xulstore.json )) But it did not enable me to resize the facebook window from either msnbc.com or nbc.com. However, I did open the window to full size and the share button was accessible. Now, I do not see how to empty cookies in firefox .
