Firefox - stopped remembering its size and position ......
Hi - as the title says my Firefox installation now no longer seems to remember the size and position of it's window when last closed.
Any ideas ?

Try deleting the preferences files for it; any weird settings should be scrubbed along with it, although remember to keep bookmarks.html and other such files to be sure of keeping plugins and links that you will still want to use.

On windows it will be in your usernames folder in documents and settings, and then app data -> mozilla -> firefox and then there is a whole load of stuff in there. Back it up obv, and then start ff again with the prefs folder deleted. New instances of everything will be created with default values and then you can substitute back your bookmarks/plugins etc. as required.
Can't promise this will solve your problem, but it never helps to try this one when something isn't quite right with an application.

Wasn't that obvious - the File/Folder Icon was originally similar to the "javascript" icon but after I opened the file/folder it displayed the files and then once I returned to the previous folder level it was correctly displayed as a folder.....Kieran wrote:Was going to sayShotokan101 wrote:hold that thought - the file isn't actually a file
