when typing a search in the address bar, and you enter the side search window
opens and your previous window is still open and dominates the view, no way to
enlarge new window! is this a feature or a glitch? not sure as it never happened
in previous versions, and it is a bit of a hassle to do searches and get new
window to finally enlarge after you have done something on it and entered on the
small side window then finally you will get the old window to change to the new
one! Note this happens every time I use my bookmarks and go to new site, and
could not see this in the list of bugs...thanks sincerly jazziemam beta testing

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.first you hit a bookmark and window opens fine, then select new bookmark and
it opens it in new sidebar window that can not be enlarged
2.when you move over to smaller side bar window and do something in there like
enter password it then will finally open new window in the large right side
view, so there! always happens each time
3.

Actual Results:  
normally you should have the browser open full screen view into the new site, so
this is unusual for firefox my fav browser!

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
