236524 - Firefox does not remember window position

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 209342

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ethan Glasser-Camp]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040227 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040227 Firefox/0.8

My old version of Mozilla, Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0)
Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1, remembers where it was positioned and
sized last time I had it open, and when I start it again it starts in the same
place/size. Firefox does not do this. I think my window manager (blackbox) is
providing a placement hint, because the old version of Mozilla knows where to
go, but Firefox does not. The version of fluxbox in Debian unstable (0.1.14)
does not change this behavior.

Firefox correctly sizes its window to the size it was before, but does not go to
the right location.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Move the Firefox window, resize it.
2. Close and restart Firefox window.


Actual Results:  
The new Firefox window has the same size as you resized it to, but does not go
where the old window was.

Expected Results:  
The new Firefox window should have the same size and position as the old one.
