Add-on summary

NOTE To the users of this extension, I read your concerns and suggestions. Though improvements can be made, I have no intention of ever updating this extension. At the moment, it works well enough for many users. I personally dislike when software I am using suddenly and randomly gets updated in such a way that it no longer works as expected. I imagine that one day in the future this extension might break for new versions of Firefox. If that ever happens, then a new extension will be made and released, probably with a version number so people don't get confused. That said, anyone else is always welcome to take my code and make their own version of the extension. Please do what you wish! The APACHE software license in my repository is for interesting legal cases that will probably never occur. I don't care if someone makes a similar extension even using the exact same code I used, because the goal is to make Firefox/Chrome work how we want.

Maximizes all windows belonging to the current browser.

Features: An option for controlling whether addon maximizes windows on browser startup. An option for controlling whether addon maximizes new windows when they are created. An option for controlling whether windows are minimized if they were minimized before maximizing.

User reviews


Eric, thanks so much for creating this extension! People are fed up with the current crop of programmers who ongoingly impose unwanted tweaks down our throats against our choice. I had wasted too much time trying out dead-end solutions until I found your add-on via a Reddit respondent. For example my resistFingerprint was already set to "false" so the latter suggestion was a dead-end for me. And manually tweaking the browser margins (via the double-arrow cursor) also had failed to remain that way upon restart. Thanks again!
