Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P3)

Description

[Bryan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060328 Firefox/2.0a1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060328 Firefox/2.0a1

When I launch FF, open the Places organizer and then maximize the window FF does not remember this maximized window state which is very annoying!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch FF
2. Open Places
3. Maximize
4. Close both Places and FF
5. Launch FF
6. Open Places and notice that it reverts to it's "restored down" state and is not maximized.

Actual Results:  
Places window reverts to it's "restored down" state and is not maximized.

Expected Results:  
1. Launch FF
2. Open Places
3. Maximize
4. Close both Places and FF
5. Launch FF
6. Open Places and notice that the window retained the maximized state and that this state persists until modified by the user!


Both the JavaScript Console and DOM Inspector exhibit this same behaviour.  Would be great if you could fix all three, if not, then I will file bugs on those two as well.

I can confirm this bug based on the reporters instructions.

It remembers the size when I drag it wider.

Attachment: replace sizeMode with sizemode

This error (sizeMode instead of sizemode) happens in other places. I'll file a new  bug for fixing all other instances.

Simon, is this ready for checkin? If so, please reassign to me ([e-mail]) so it's on my radar.

There you go (although I'm sure anybody could land this one-character fix).

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
