Wen opening a new window it should be in the state of the current window in this case maximized Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Please be so kind as to specify at least the necessary steps one has to perform in order to be able to reproduce the problem (see also http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html for reference). From what I understand your problem is: - open a window - maximize this window - press <ctrl>-<n> or 'File' -> 'new window' => now the upcoming window is NOT in the maximized state? If so, this works for me using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030619 Mozilla Firebird/0.6. Did you allready tried using a fresh, vanilla profile? You can create a new, additional profile by calling MozillaFirebird.exe with option "-p" - your old settings and bookmarks will not be impacted by doing so.

your right but i mostelly use full screen (F11) and that doesn't work right. This days it seems firebird has more and more bugs in it, autocompleate doesn't work right and copy / paste dont work at all :(
full screen + Ctrl-N does not result in a new window in Mozilla either, it creates a window sized to the screen size. This is working as designed. First, if anything this is an enhancement, and given how new windows are created I think the current behaviour is better than your proposed behaviour. Confirming for dev review... --> WONTFIX

Mr. Connor, I cannot see how such could be a desired effect. I will exemplify: I start Mozilla Firebird, has usual it's configured to the usual 1024x769 normal window (my desktop resolution is 1280x1024) but today has may others I decide to step back and browse from a greater and more comfortable distance, so I use F11 & Ctrl++ to be able to read from the increased distance, now I open a new window. What just happened that’s undesirable? 1) The new window is not in the same state has the previous one (maximized) which would not be bad if not for points 2 & 3. 2) The new window is a normal state window that has the dimension of the desktop area, now I believe this just to be ridicule, if the user wanted a window of such dimensions it would maximize it, and not resize it, also see point 3. 3) If you closed your old window, the next time you start Mozilla Firebird it will have the new window dimensions, so in effect it just throws away my carefully configured window size for one that is useless since it’s an inferior equivalent to the maximize state witch forces me to resize the window to a smaller size “again”. A example of correct behavior: Solution 1) Mozilla Firebird would open a new window in the same state has the one it’s called from. Solution 2) Mozilla Firebird would open a new window with the dimensions of the last “normal state” window with in my case would be: 1024x769. So this is a definitive BUG that SHOULD BE FIX, and I would like to state that I am making a big effort to be civilized, since hearing such comment after being annoyed by such BUG on a dally basis has really made my blood boil…

I also think this is a bug.
(In reply to comment #3) > full screen + Ctrl-N does not result in a new window in Mozilla either, it > creates a window sized to the screen size. This is working as designed. i presume you misunderstood the issue: proposal1: window1 is maximized -> go to fullscreen -> ctrl+n for new window2: solution1: window2 shoudl be maxmized too solution2: window2 should be in fullscreen state too actual result of the bug: window2 is not maximized, but sized(!) to screen maximum (minus taskbar) proposal2: window1 is in state X -> go to fullscreen -> ctrl+n for new window2: solution1: window2 should be in state X too with X = either maximized, fullscreen'd or custom sized (with one maximum: desktop size minus taskbar)
Version: unspecified → Trunk
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:2.0b7pre) Gecko/20101005 Firefox/4.0b7pre partially fixes the issue by retaining the window size before full screen (F11) activation and using it for new windows. However, if previous state was maximized it will still create a new window of maximized dimensions but not in the maximized state.
Severity: normal → S3
