Description Henning 2023-08-04 16:31:35 UTC 
I dont know if the apps choose their size and can override system preferences?

I *always* use Firefox in Fullscreen and close it like that. But it always openes non-fullscreen.

Weird thing, this does not apply for Thunderbird. 

Both are the Flatpaks from Flathub, I use Librewolf too, same effect.

I cant say about RPM Firefox.

Fedora 38
Librewolf based on recent Firefox, Flathub Flatpak

When you say fullscreen, do you actually mean fullscreen, or do you mean maximized?

I mean maximized. I always click on their CSD "fullscreen" button and have it in fullscreen. But "macos ugly like" it always opens vertically fullscreen, horizontally with a bit of space. It never seems to remember my sizing. Is this something Firefox has to change or Plasma can enforce?
Comment 4 Henning 2023-08-19 15:45:33 UTC 
So my fix was to set the programs window properties to "vertically maximised" and "horizontally maximized".

But in a former issue I already mentioned how extremely confusing the "set window properties" dialog is (hard to find, unclear whats given properties and whats wanted properties)
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2023-08-21 18:08:16 UTC 
We could fix this in KWin by fixing Bug 437089, or you would report this in Firefox and they could fix it themselves by setting a real maximized state when they save their window state.
