Hi everyone ! Using Firefox in Fedora 28 xfce, the Firefox window can't keep it's maximized state as I quit a fullscreen video. I need to re-maximize it again every time. As a workaround, I noticed it happens only if I hide the titlebar (customize options). But since I would prefer to keep the titlebar hidden, any idea please how I can stop Firefox to "unmaximize" the window each time I quit a fullscreen video ?

Hi, can not think f anything other than a Refresh, but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

then

TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...:

If is your Profile :

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

After some testing with a new profile, it seems that this is unfortunately firefox default behavior, and maybe a mixed issue between firefox and some linux window manager (here, with xfce). I can reproduce this behavior in 2 different distros (gnome/xfce), fresh install, as long as I hide the firefox title bar. But this is, at best, a little annoying so ... until I found another workaround, that's ok for now, thank you ^^.
