Build ID: 20110922153450

Steps to reproduce:

installed FF7


Actual results:

A window on the Windows 7 taskbar showed FF was started, however, when trying to activate the FF window, it is nowhere to be found on the desktop or monitor. I made a new window and FF showed up.


Expected results:

FF, on restart should never be 0 width and 0 height as I don't see a reason for that whatsoever. FF should at least detect this on restart and give users the option to at least give them some size to the window to grab with the mouse to resize as opposed to like a 0 width and 0 height which causes all sorts of problems as the Windows taskbar says it there, show it's there and open, but still can't see it.

Furthermore, FF should also detect if the FF window has been moved off the screen as well on restart, that is, there is no multi-monitor set up and give the users the option to say, "Hey, FF is positioned off the screen, or FF window size is 0 width and 0 height, would you like to be set those width and height and position back to  the defaults so you can at least see the FF window to begin with?"
