Firefox Doesn't Remember Window Position/Size???

I'm guessing no, since every time I change the window size and position and close Firefox and restart it the next time, the window size/position is right back to where it was before I changed it. This is REALLY annoying. Is there any way to get FF to remember my window settings? Please help, if you can!

NO one knows how to set preferences to remember window position/size in OS X when running Firefox? NO one??? Oh, come on, where are all you geeks?! And you know I mean that in a good way.

It's always just worked for me. *shrug* Maybe you have some extensions installed that are screwing it up.

Try this: Load Firefox, resize your window, and just close it (don't quit). Then open a new window. Does that work?

Nope, that didn't work either.

I sometimes wonder about necroposts, but this one is definitely worth it I'm sure. Not everyone has moved to Firefox 3.5, nor do I know if this bug has been resolved in 3.5. So it's good to have this bit of information available. Thanked.
