1427310 - Closing firefox with Ctrl+Q does not remember window maximization state on next launch

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1460639

(Core :: Window Management, defect)

Description

[Jan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0
Build ID: 20171207194519

Steps to reproduce:

Closed firefox with Ctrl+Q while window is maximized.


Actual results:

Firefox starts in a small window instead of maximized.


Expected results:

Firefox should have started maximized. Note that closing it using the window title close button will remember the maximization state.

I think I encountered this issue on Mac OSX (and saw it on another device). Refreshing my profile solved it:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings
Can you try it?

I also noticed that the small window is the default size of Tor browser (and Firefox when 1st launched)

This is on Linux with a fresh profile. I probably wouldn't have bothered reporting otherwise :P

Anyways, turns out this is a relatively old regression, I only just now learned how to reproduce.

Unfortunately, mozregression cannot get me any further cause these commits are too old. I can probably do a manual bisection if needed, but would prefer to avoid it.

Finally managed to get a build environment that actually produced some builds.
