Was the browser in full screen mode when it was last closed?

Re: Sometimes it turns on full screen when turned on
HTML 5 Full Screen is a hack on Browser Full Screen in Mozilla browsers.. I think most browsers.. So this is to be expected.. Not sure there is anything we can do about it except never remember full screen state after the browser is closed... Dunno.. Will have to be evaluated.

Re: Sometimes it turns on full screen when turned on
Xfce kills all apps brutally when you do that which is why Palemoon thinks it has crashed. You unfortunately need to close all apps one by one if you want them to exit normally.jisoohero wrote: i was watching youtube with full screen then i powered off my computer without closing palemoon

I don't quite see the problem; HTML5 full screen is still full screen.New Tobin Paradigm wrote:It is but then html 5 happened.

Re: Sometimes it turns on full screen when turned on
I did some testing on a couple of test profiles. In each profile is a file "xulstore.json". It begins with something likeNew Tobin Paradigm wrote:HTML 5 Full Screen is a hack on Browser Full Screen in Mozilla browsers.. I think most browsers.. So this is to be expected..

{"chrome://browser/content/browser.xul":{"main-window":{"width":"951","height":"1052","screenX":"0","screenY":"0","sizemode":"normal"},
which remembers the size from the last time the browser was closed.
I did some tweaking and testing of xulstore.json, and found the following. I run ICEWM. Things may differ on other Window managers
- setting "width" and "height" and "sizemode" parameters works
- the pixel counts include only the "window content". It does not include title bar, or frame, etc. Setting "width":"951","height":"1052" allows me to place 2 browser windows side-by-side exactly filling a 1920x1080 monitor screen
- under ICEWM, at least, it does not honour "screenX" and "screenY"
- open up Pale Moon and drag the window edges to just the right size
- close Pale Moon
- cp xulstore.json xulstore.template
- write a wrapper script which executes "cp xulstore.template xulstore.json" before launching
There's a right way
There's a wrong way
And then there's my way
