Ok, problem has now gone away. Two possible theories as to what solved it: 1) There was an entry for firefox in ~/.fluxbox/apps, which may have restricted the window size. I've subsequently removed the entry. 2) I used a 64-bit mozilla-firefox build for a while, making an entirely new ~/.mozilla directory. firefox-bin runs fine on this directory. Something here isn't entirely as it should be, but the browser works for me now. Problem hasn't really gone away. A number of circumstances where firefox doesn't exit properly (either due to a freeze in X or a bug in firefox) cause the program to draw all subsequent windows at 1x1. It's always possible to maximise that window and have a useable browser, but new windows are still created at 1x1, and the problem is only really solved by deleting the .mozilla directory and rebuilding a new one (deleting all bookmarks, history, installed extensions, etc. in the process). I've tried backing up the .mozilla directory, but the window size issues persist even after renaming the backup directory to .mozilla and restarting the browser. This seems to happen on 1.0.4 as well as earlier versions. Renewed attention to the bug seems to be in order :-) Thanks. i have the same issue, but slightly worse. occasionally firefox's window is less than 1x1 (ie 0x0) and doesn't even appear in the task bar. the oly solution is to killall -9 firefox-bin. Sometime restarting fluxbox fixes this. It only seems to happen on one of my (2) screens. I noticed a fix on fluxbox's site relating to it saving window positions correctly. I am currently running the version with the 'fix' and so far so good. Same here. Sometimes I do not get a window at all (i.e. 0x0 window?), sometimes they are too small (~ 100x50 or so), and sometimes it works correctly. I also tried "firefox -width 1130 -height 900", but that does not help actually getting a window. I use windowmaker-0.92.0-r1 and mozilla-firefox-1.0.6-r5 on amd64. I also tried (on earlier firefox) CFLAGS="", which did not help. I have the same problem where both mozilla (64 bit) and firefox-bin (32 bit) fail to display when started on a regular basis. I'm using openbox though, so it's not a fluxbox specific issue. Also, firefox-bin has been playing up for a very long time but it's only been recently that mozilla has been doing the same trick. I'm very frustrated by this (as is my wife). ALL window manager issues should be fixed in latest releases of them, openbox3.3_rc2-r1 contains fix for 64bit users wm works fine and so does fluxbox. if this problem still persist please open a new bug with windows manager of version of ff/tb that is causing a problem. You may have to use ~arch for windows managers as I do not add patches to stable wm's for 64bit fixes. |
