Browser suddenly not maximizing? Please help!

Unread post by missgyp » 2022-08-05, 19:43

Operating system: Windows 10
Browser version: I haven't downloaded the latest update yet. So one version behind the most recent.
32-bit or 64-bit browser?: 64bit
Problem URL: Any/All
Browser theme (if not default):
Installed add-ons:
Installed plugins: (about:plugins): Flash

If possible, please include the output of help->troubleshooting information (as text):
I have tried restarting my computer, force-stopping palemoon and restarting.
I also just tried uninstalling and reinstalling palemoon to no avail.
I have tried right-clicking on the icon and choosing "maximize" - No window shows up. It clearly *thinks* it is maximized, though..

You don't say when or how this window "not maximizing" condition arose?
Suddenly... but when... any other info on how this problem began would be useful?
During a session? On normal browser start up? After some other computer, browser, update or power outage incident?

At a basic level... assume you've tried the 'Restore' option in same right-click menu in your photo? :)
Failing that... try pressing 'Alt + Tab' with Pale Moon's taskbar icon selected/highlighted.

If neither of those work then problem a little deeper...
Several possibilities to eliminate... from 'browser window moved offscreen'... to corruption of a browser store on closing?
A few suggestions to try in a previous forum post here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27515&p=221159#p221159

PS. Intrigued by your 'blue squiggle' wallpaper in screensnip photo above... link or website please? :angel:
