User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1 When you go to a site that uses new window links, such as http://www.fark.com/, and click on a link, then close both windows, on next startup of Firebird the window is essentially indented. This happens even if you close the launched link window first. This did not happen in Firebird 0.6, or any previous build I can remember. If this isn't something fixable, is there a configuration option to specify window placement? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to Fark.com and click on any item link, with your browser placed at the left side of the screen and not maximized. 2. When a new window pops up, close it, and close the initial browser window as well. 3. Open Firebird. Actual Results: The initial window placement moved, slightly indented from the left side of the screen. Expected Results: It should not have moved, but retained the original placement settings, as it would had you not opened a link in a new browser window.
Further testing shows it saves the position of the last window opened for the next startup of Firebird. This will happen with either launch links or simply opening a new window. Opening multiple new windows will save the position of the last window launched. Order of closing does not seem to matter, but maybe it should. Either providing a way to set the placement in configuration, or saving the position of the last window to be closed would fix this in my opinion. I know it seems minor, but this sort of behavior is a major reason I stopped using IE. Constantly having to move a window gets annoying.
I think this is a dupe of bug 210689.
