firefox starts in fulscreen by default

[Eric]

Binary package hint: firefox

as the summary says, whenever I start it. It also automatically enters fullscreen mode when i click an outside link (via pidgin, for instance). it's not the classic firefox fullscreen (see attachment). pressing F11 once or twice (once after start-up, twice after clicking on a link) brings firefox back to windowed mode.

Just after the start of the Firefox, go to the option or preference page and change the viewing options.

when i was with the gutsy it worked out fine.

try to disable desktop effects in preferences -> appearence.

[Eric (emehes)]

disabling the desktop effects works! don't actually know why it does though, but it works definitely works.

however I am too fond of the desktop cube, therefore I still rather pressing the F11 button whenever I start firefox:)

I didn't find a "change default viewing mode" in firefox, and "View" -- "Fullscreen" is ticked off by default.
