Apps :: How to maximize firefox at startup

Hi, I've searched through the forum but did not find a hint for my problem. I have a hdd dsl running and firefox should start with max window. the command "firefox -geometry 1024x768" still open the small firefox window. Is there a script and where i have to put the information? Thx for help and sorry for terrible english ;-)

Firefox does not accept a geometry parameter. I'm not sure why, but there are a few of those things linux users take for granted that the Firefox developers did not think are worth including.

Have you tried resizing the window and then closing it? I don't think it works for maximized/fullscreen windows, but it should keep the dimensions of a manually resized window.

Another option is to create a small html page for your start page that includes a javascript to resize the window onLoad (check javascript.com for examples). But I can't remember if DSL's firefox supports javascript.

Still another option is to browse through the billions of firefox config files looking for something that sets the geometry.

Thanks for reply. I trid to manually resize the windows, then close and reopen but the same result - small window ;-( Thats why I think there must be a goemetry code exist (like the dilo ini file) for firefox but I searched through all the firefox ini files but could not find the code. the starting website is an external page, so the way over javascript is not possible. Seems that I have to go for a second round to fix my problem.

One way to get at many Firefox configuration settings is to type:

about:config

into the Addressbar and press ENTER

At least this works in Win32 Firefox. I have not tried it in Linux Firefox.

Well, the command about:config works but I can't find a entry for starting size of firefox. So I am still looking for ;-( but thx anyway I didn't know about the about:config command for firefox ;-)
