I don't know if "kiosk" is the right word. Every second time I start firefox, it's in a mode where the tabs and the minimize/maximize/close buttons are missing. Every other time it's normal, with tabs and those buttons. This is regardless of how I start Firefox (desktop shirtcut, taskbar pinned icon, autohotkey key shortcut). What's up with that? Thanks!

Actually, it was starting (every second time) in the wrong position, left, top, right, bottom = 283 -43 1662 1040 and every other time with 283 0 1662 1040. A few maximize/restore operations seems to have fixed that. Any idea how I got it into that state?

Firefox stores the last window position in the xulstore.json file in your profile folder. That should make the position consistent; it really doesn't make sense for it to fluctuate like that.

Do you use multiple displays that have different resolutions? That can sometimes confuse Firefox.

2 displays, same resolution. Firefox rarely moves.
