Having a weird problem in the latest firefox, and was wondering if
anyone is seeing anything similar. (And/or know cause/workaround.)
When I shut down FF and start it again, the new FF window is a smaller
size than the old one. But it's not just that it's not remembering the
correct settings - it's actually doing something more devious than that:
Even if I manually set the height in the localstore.rdf file (or
delete the localstore and let FF re-create it) FF is *overriding* the
height value in that file - with a value of 900.
Now that value is too round a number to be a coincidence - and it's not.
Apparently, it's taking the height from the *smaller* of the 2 screens
I have connected to my laptop (the internal panel - 1440x900).
But I tweaked my nvidia settings a long time ago specifically to avoid
this issue, and they've been working properly with FF ever since (i.e.,
setting window at correct size) - up until the recent FF/xulrunner
upgrade, that is.
My nvidia xorg settings are as follows:
Option "TwinView" "on"
Option "TwinViewOrientation" "Clone"
Option "MetaModes" "nvidia-auto-select, nvidia-auto-select"
Subsection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "nvidia-auto-select"
EndSubsection
Option "TwinViewXineramaInfoOrder" "DFP-2, DFP-0"
DFP-2 is my external monitor (1680x1050), and DFP-0 is my laptop
internal panel.
I haven't been able to find much mention about this issue - either on
the Arch boards, or elsewhere on the Net. This seems to be the only
reference I could find to it:

Anybody have any idea what might be going on here and/or how to fix?
It's a pain in the butt to have *every single FF window* show up at the
wrong size.
Thanks,
DR
