Firefox opens full screen every time?

For some reason. Firefox will open in full screen mode almost every time. I have to hit F11 to switch it back to normal viewing mode.
Even after I do this and close FF, it will open again in Full Screen mode.

Any suggestions?

Re: Firefox opens full screen every time?

I had this problem just yesterday, it was quite annoying so I went to Synaptic, searched firefox-3.0 and clicked the box next to it and selected Mark for ReInstallation and Applied. And everything seems to be working A-OK. Hope that helped

Same thing keeps happening to me and it is quite annoying! Marking for reinstallation did NOT fix the issue.

If you read the original post closer, it's clear he/she knows this.

I checked about:config and there doesn't appear to be a setting that tells it to start with fullscreen on or off. All the google searches I've run describe add-ons that let you tell firefox to start fullscreen. one of them is called "autohide". However, nothing to tell it NOT to start fullscreen.
