Cannot make a video.

I'll start from scratch and tell you where the bug lies.

When you open Firefox with FVD active this happens....

It ONLY happens when you use the initial default tab with any dial using auto preview.

Using Custom previews does not cause this behaviour.

This bug is ONLY in the 1st installs tab labelled 'default'.

Easily reproduced...........

From a new profile in firefox ( cut and save the old one or make a new one).

install FVD

change facebooks dial on the tab named default from custom preview to auto preview,save the change.

exit firefox

wait 5-10 seconds

start firefox

when it opens it should be in a window like my screengrab.

BUG is NOT related to solely auto preview in a dial but is related to using auto preview in a dial on the initial default tab.

I have deleted the initial default tab and this windowed opening has gone.

Supply me with video making software and I will make a video if need be......

Actually it's related to the 'Default' tab dials auto preview.

I changed the order of the tabs,no difference until I ticked the auto preview of a dial on the Default tab which is now 2nd.

Once I've made a new tab and transferred the default tabs dials over then deleted the default tab I'll report back.

I don't mean a tab that is set as default,I mean the 1st tab that is there with the popular tab straight after install,called default.

Deleted this tab now so will see how behaviour is...................

Confirmed BUT...........

Seems ONLY related to the 1st tab of dials ( default tab ) .

Soon as I change any dial in the 1st tab to auto preview FF starts windowed.

Nope,that's an FF thing not an FVD thing.

I mean Firefox actual opens in windowed mode not in fullscreen.

Nothing to do with auto update.

I may have found the cause,auto preview.

Started new profile,new install of FVD.

Firefox opens fine until I tick the auto preview box,then it starts opening windowed,regardless of whether auto update is ticked or not.

I cannot change dials from auto to custom unless there is a premade icon or I specify a location,so testing my full install is becoming tedious.

I believe I may have found the cause of the problem.

Initial tests on a fresh new profile and install of FVD seem to indicate this.

I will go through my setup/dials,apply the fix and test more..............

HELLO????

Time to move on to a new speed dial as it seems your not interested in fixing this problem or you simply cannot.

But waiting over 2yrs after countless FF updates and numerous FVD updates and the 'bug' still persists.

Ciao

Nope

always opens in the same windowed position regardless of where and how firefox was when it was shut down.

Don't hold your breath,I may have solved it.............

Over 2yrs and still not fixed.

probably time to look for alternatives........................

There's a time limit on it.

shut FF down,wait 15 secs,fire up FF and FF is fullscreen.

shut FF down,wait 1min and FF opens windowed.

not exact times but thats the gist of it
