Positiong FF on the screen? (Linux)

Post by P38Usul »

Is there a way to open FF on only part of the screen, in the same place all the time?

I would like it to be full height and touch on the right side but not on the left. That allows Thunderbird to peek through and I can see if I have mail.
I used to be able to put the screen where I wanted it and when I restarted it would be in the same place, but something changed.
Now if I stretch FF over to the right side it suddenly goes to full-screen, so I have to hold it back just a bit.
It would be nice if there were a setting somewhere that would allow you to map out exactly where to open it.

Firefox 107.0 Kubuntu 22.04

Thanks

Maybe an addon would help?

Simple Window Resizer by Soustruh

Chrome has --window-size and --window-position command line options.

Firefox has --window-size command line option, but not --window-position.

Simple Window Resizer by Soustruh works just as I hoped.
Thank you
