I have the feeling I am missing something obvious, but if I knew I wouldn't be asking ... every time I create a new browser window in Firefox on Ubuntu 20.04, the window size of the new window fills the entire screen. On a 4K monitor, that's a bit excessive for a web browser window. How do I set the default size of new browser windows to be something smaller?

Firefox remembers the state of the last closed window between restarts. So make sure the last window you close has the size you are after. What also may be a factor: for near-maximized windows, the window manager is set by default to auto-maximize them. – vanadium Jun 03 '20 at 06:37

@vanadium honestly, that is the behavior I'd expect, but it is not the behavior I am getting. The last window size is not used when creating a new window. – kamprath Jun 03 '20 at 08:48

Is your last window size significantly smaller than your screen, e.g. half tiled, or just a small window? Just to exclude the effect where quite large windows by default are full screened automatically. – vanadium Jun 03 '20 at 09:18

@vanadium I usually resize the window to about 1/3 of the monitor width and maybe 90% of the monitor's height. – kamprath Jun 03 '20 at 09:55
