Every time I open Firefox it creates a window with the default size, forgetting
the size I had it at last time.  This is especially annoying because it doesn't
care about the size of the dock, and puts the resize smack dab in the middle of
it, even though my dock is smaller than normal.

This is due to the permissions on localstore.rdf being incorrect.  It's set to
444 instead of 644.  Manually changing the perms fixes the problem (as well as
the symptom listed in bug 23739.)

Here is what the perms on all newly created profiles look like on MacOS:

All of the files that are mode 444 should be 644.

It seems to have been fixed now. I created a new profile and permissions are ok.

This is still an issue on 10.2.8.   I dmoved my entire pFirefox directory out of
the way, and the default profile that it created still had the incorrect
permissions.

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

hm, could this be a problem limited to jaguar/mac os x 10.2.x?

Comment 7

[Arthur Wiebe]

Can this bug be reproduced with Firefox 1.0 PR on Jaguar?
If not this bug should be marked as Works for me.
