Was told by a Windows7 forum guru to post this info here, Have two computers, both running Windows 7 and Firefox 8.01, all configured the same. FS appears to be causing several problems with FF's functioning and has its own problem, too.

1. With FS enabled, FF will only open in a minimized mode in both computers...no matter what I do. When FS is disabled, FF opens maximized, as it should.
2. FS does not hold its option settings, it is always splitting to the right If I have set the FS button to split to the bottom or top, still splits to the right.
3. This is interesting considering that both computers have the same setups. On my desktop (a Gateway DX4720-03), FS will split as directed when using the drop down from the icon to select how to split. However, on the laptop, when doing this, one sees a momentary flash of the split, but the split itself never happens.

Below are two threads that I had started on FF's Mozilla forum. Hope this helps.
