How to make Firefox open all links maximized

I have Windows 10 and Firefox version 47.

I want all links to open maximized. But whenever I click on a link, the window doesn't open maximized. I made a short video showing this.

Any ideas? Thanks!

That's so strange. I normally do not display the title bar, and new windows open in the same style as the original: maximized => maximized, resizable => resizable.

However, taking a cue from your video, after I turned on display of the title bar, I get what you get: maximized => resizable. It's a lot bigger than the one you get, but that's probably based on the resizable size of the windows we were using (before it was maximized) rather than something set in Firefox.

I don't know why it works differently with the title bar displayed. ??!!
