Firefox opens in an extremely small size when I open it. I tried to maximize it and restart. Nothing fixes it. How do I fix this problem? It is driving me nuts.

To make it open at a nice size, make sure you have only one Firefox window open, then un-maximize it (which should make it small again), then resize the window by dragging the corners (not using the maximize button) to make it whatever size you like. Close the window and it should then start back up at the same large size.

The same trick should work with any Windows program that opens in an annoyingly small window :)

If that still doesn't help the try to delete localstore.rdf or use "Reset toolbars and controls" on the "Safe mode" start window.
