I've found similar entries in Bugzilla, but they are either different, or already closed. Apologies if this already does exist.

When you quit Firefox in Full screen mode, it restarts in restored window mode (i.e. not maximised or full screen) but the window size fills the entire screen, even though the original restored window-size may have only been half the screen. I guess this is actually two errors:

1. Most important - FF should remember the restored (non-maximised) window size when quitting, regardless of whether you were in full-screen mode or not.
2. Should FF restart in full screen mode if you quitted the last time in full screen?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch FF3.
2. Set the restored window-size to something not full-screen.
3. Hit F11 to enter full-screen mode.
4. Restart FF3.

Actual Results:  
The window is no longer in full-screen mode, but is in restored mode. However, the window fills the entire screen, so you think it's maximised and try to restore the window by hitting the Maximise button on the window - which maximised the window anyway!

Expected Results:  
It should at least remember the original restored window size. Whether it restarts in full screen mode or restored window size is a question of preference, though.
