    Resize, then File > Quit. Open. Should be sweet.

    Of course! That's a trick for every single application on every single operating system, btw.

    If I maximize it I can't move it to the right position and I have to unmaximize s I can move it and I then go to file and exit and it still comes out now at top half screen.

    If you're just talking about the window position (as opposed to size) and it not being remembered, that's how it is in Ubuntu with Gnome. Ubuntu opens it where it wants to position-wise. I don't know how to change that in Gnome. If you were running KDE, you can adjust and set the position of windows with some of the windows options and settings and it will remember. In Gnome, I am not sure if that can be done. Perhaps someone else knows...

    If you're not talking bout position, then excuse all the above... ;)

    Looks like this is a browser thing not just firefox. I installed Opera to see if that would be better and its the same as firefox.

    You've mentioned problems with video before. In your particular case the fix may involve disabling Legacy fullscreen support. You'll find a few suggestions here unless someone running Ubuntu can walk you through. Yes, I've accounted for this extending over to Opera.

    Cheater, Unmaximise, then Maximise, close the browser and it should remember the next time it opens. I had this problem and so far the above tactic has worked for me.
