Is it the case that even if you close the Firefox maximized,it starts in a small window? Plz check the answer below and hope it helps — Iori. Should probably be closed as Too Localized, see OP's answer below.

Important Note if you're using Reset Firefox : All of your Firefox settings and personal information is stored in your profile folder. Hopefully this helps someone :. Thank you! An easy and perfect solution to my problem with two thunderbirds. I remained sceptical when two windows opened up in safe mode, too. But after closing them I only got one window in the 'regular' thunderbird.
Thanks again! Personally I never faced this issue though. My browser window is using ALL of the available height and leaving room on the left and right sides so I can access my shortcuts, folders and files on the desktop.
To me, allowing websites to know that I only do certain things when the window is on a specific monitor, in a specific size, at a specific location, is too much to disclose.
If one uses the add-on Privacy Settings found in the FF repository, the same non-maximized window will start with the settings clicked to advanced or best settings for privacy. In theory, then, one of the settings in the Aris list or made by the Privacy add-on or used by Tor is the setting that makes FF open non-maximized.
Tried panopticlick with privacy. The big difference between true and false was shifts in entropy between display and canvas. Either way, my IP is visible. What was interesting was I ran panopticlick in a version of chromium. This is just one switch; as noted somewhere above, poor browsing habits, providing personal info, etc.
At the end of the day, due to the nature of sites like Panopticlick, AmIUnique etc, the results are tainted. The reasons for this are:. And what drives FP resistance is tightening up the bucket you are in — by enforcing the FP to be the same. Math is your friend. There is no point in hiding your browser Firefox vs chrome , or OS major platform or UA as all they do is create more entropy if trying to raise entropy randomly this is not an issue.
It is more entropy if you look at it worldwide. While I am not a statistician, the entropy here is almost a load of BS because tainted data. The number of browsers dropped from 1 in the lot, to 1 in under 5K. I suspect it would be hard to get under 12 for an entropy score. The thing here, is that the commonality of a FP is heavily weighing the overall entropy value as it should , and that means tainted data will screw it. While some metrics carry an entropy of e.
However, the dataset does influence individual item entropy — take for example DNT. Almost no-one uses this in the real world, as it is opt-in. There are three values: true, false, undefined. Currently DNT on is 1 in 1. While the max entropy individually would be 1bit if truely binary , in reality, it would really help make you stand out more than 0.
I have reacted to all updates My backup browser is Ungoogled Chrome. I now know the fingerprinting changes are forcing small window boots when FF is started.
