1. I have FireFox shortcut on Quick Launch toolbar with "maximized" flag on
2. After start FireFox shows "Add-On updates available" popup
3. I select "download & install"
4. FireFox updates Add-Ons then show Add-Ons window with extra line like "1 add-on updated" and red button with cross on it
5. I close this window
6. FireFox now not maximized so I have to manually click maximize button on its window title.

P.S. I saw same issue on early Komodo Edit based on Mozilla engine ;)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

3. I select "download & install"
4. FireFox updates Add-Ons then show Add-Ons window with extra line like "1 add-on updated" and red button with cross on it

FireFox not maximized and nearly fill all desktop area so I have to manually click maximize button on its window title.

Expected Results:  
FireFox shall stay maximized as required by shortcut parameters

Does this happen in safe mode?  And can you reproduce this using the new Firefox 3.5?

Mostly not: it depends on add-on and firefox shall contain old version so upon startup dinds new version and suggest update.

I can reproduc this if you send me link on some old bersion of on of trusted plugins for replacing in firefox and following update.

Here is an extension I have on addons.mozilla.org (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3082)

Download an older version http://uctb.googlecode.com/files/undo_closed_tabs_button-3.5.0-fx.xpi and it will offer you an upgrade for version 3.5.1.

Those are for Firefox 3.5, I'm assuming you upgraded to 3.5 right?  If you can reproduce, can you also try with a new profile?

Hi Kurt,

what I do:
1. update FF to 3.5 using Help->Update menu
2. install your [old] XPI
3. restart FF
4. FF says that one new extension installed
5. check that I have checked option "[x] check for Add-ons" on Advanced->Updates page in Options
6. restart FF
7. nothing happened

FF 3.5 doesnt check installed add-ons versions. I suppose this functionality was roken on 3.5.

Can I produce some top secret detailed log on FF start process? :)

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
