Vista/Firefox/small window *COMPLETED*
« on: Thursday 30 December 10 10:49 GMT (UK) »
I use FIREFOX on Vista to read my SKY email.

When it opened up this morning, the SKY window was very tiny in the top left of the screen.  You can see a screen shot at

How do I expand this?  I have tried the obvious things like closing down, restarting FIREFOX, opening my email in a new tab, opening my email in a new window, restarting my computer.

When I open other web pages in FIREFOX, they are full size.

I am sure the solution must be obvious, but it's not when you don't know how.

It is obtaining the dimensions of the window pane from a stored setting, possibly in your registry or it could be in a Firefox file that stores your settings.

You could try removing your browser history just in case that retains any settings:

You should be able to make it bigger by dragging it. Put your cursor at the very bottom where the two sides meet and drag it to full size by keeping your finger on your left mouse button and moving it.

Thanks for the responses.

I had already tried dragging the corner/edges without success.  No little arrows appear when the mouse is on one of the edge/corners.

I deleted all the appropriate cookies and restarted, and that seemed to fix it

Thanks again

Malcolm
