I am currently using Gnome on Suse 12.3. I enjoy Gnome because it so different than the predictable Windows “Start Button” feel.
Anyhow…I have Firefox on my Favorites Menu on Gnome.
I used to be able to click on the Firefox icon and it would load in full screen mode. It now seems to always load in a smaller zoomed out window.
Perhaps there was a change/update to the operating system I downloaded and installed thru Yast? I don’t know…but, it is awfully annoying that anything I load off the Favorites menu always loads in a zoomed out view…

It did that first time. I clicked on maximize button and then closed it.
The next time i opened from dash(favourites) it opened in maximised mode.
Thanks for the reply! I didn’t get notified in my email about your reply for some reason, even when Subscribed to instant email notify.
Anyhow, I tried what you said…and you are right…if I maximize the window…then close Firefox and reopen it using the Favorites menu…it DOES “Zoom” normally…
However, I don’t generally like my Firefox window maximized…I use it in Windowed mode…and I have confirmed that there apparently seems to be a bug with it in that regard.
When I have it NOT in Maximized window and load Firefox from the Favorites menu…it loads Firefox in “zoomed out” mode pretty consistently.
How do I report this as a bug? I’m a newbie and I know that they are due to release the new version in a month.

That is a not a bug. it is how it is supposed to work
close Firefox(Fx) in windowed mode then it opens in windowed mode
close Fx in maximised mode then it opens in maximised mode
You can maximize any application(even Fx) using window/meta key + up
arrow on a full sized keyboard
Alternatively you can minimize any application(even Fx) using
window/meta key + down arrow on a full sized keyboard
you can also maximize,restore,minimize using dropdown (alt+space)
if you want the minimize,maximize and close buttons you do that using
Activities (left win key) ==> type tweak ==> open tweak tool ==>Navigate
to “Shell” menu ==> change dropdown (arrangement of buttons…) to "all "
Thanks for the tips…so, I tried to take a screen shot so that I can show you what I am talking about but I don’t know how. Apparently the Print Screen key doesn’t work.
After further testing, I see that regardless of the window being maximized or windowed - Firefox always loads in Maximized now.
I also determined that the “zoomed out” view that it initially loads in is due to my mouse pointer still remaining on the Favorites menu after clicking on the Firefox application to load. IF I move my mouse to the center of my screen after clicking Firefox to load from the Favorites menu - it works correctly.
This is indeed a bug, because I have been using OpenSuse with Firefox for more than a month (quite possibly two months) and haven’t had this problem before. Now, I believe this “bug” is due to some update that was pushed out to the OS that I have installed - that is now making Firefox act weird.
How do I take a screen shot and paste it into a program in Suse? Which program?

GNOME 3.6.2
openSUSE Release 12.3 (Dartmouth) 64-bit
Kernel Linux 3.7.10-1.16-desktop
Notice where the mouse pointer is, hovering over the Firefox icon. Also notice how the Firefox program loads Zoomed OUT. This only occurs when I have the mouse pointer left hovering over the program that loads. If I move the mouse in the process of clicking on the application, the Zoomed Out view doesn’t seem to happen.
This never has happened until I downloaded a dozen updates in the last few weeks or so…
In order for me to use the Firefox (or any application I load from the Favorites Menu, for that matter)…I have to click on the program in its Zoomed Out view which will bring it to the forefront of the screen.

It is not Fx issue.We are seeing Fx in Activities window. I think you
are still in Activities mode(Activities (topleft)is highlighted). In
this mode all open applications can be seen like in a taskbar
When the page loads turn on the slider that appears and install that
extension.Logout and login. That might solve the issue you are facing.
I installed the extension and no improvement. It seems it only happens with Firefox from the Favorites menu. None of the other applications I open from the favorites menu load in Zoomed Out mode.
Sorry to keep bugging you, but I don’t remember this happening until recently. Something has changed.

I am subscribed to this “thread” on this forum, but I am not getting an email to notify me when someone replies. I have that option set to on. Any idea how to get an email when I get a reply to this thread?
