Add-on summary

Inspired by https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1274624.

Version 0.5 adds a new toolbar button to set a default position and size for new resizable windows if you don't like where Firefox is placing them. Too many buttons? To remove an add-on button, either:

  • right-click > Pin to Overflow Menu
  • right-click > Remove from Toolbar

User reviews

OMFG I can finally control the size of new Firefox windows!! I no longer have to worry about smaller sized popups (or going full screen) overwriting the default new window dimensions. Thank you so much!

This fixes an issue that has been bugging me for a while, Thank you.
