I want the browser to start the same size as it was when I closed it last. That usually means maximized. It resets its size every time I open it, and that is a no-go for me long term. I searched the settings but have been unable to fix this.

I want my favorites to be a drop down list. I have tried for a bit to make it stop putting them across the top, and it did briefly then it came back with a vengeance. I do not like clutter across the top and have discarded multiple browsers for invading this space.

I apologize if these things are in the settings and I have missed them: I did look for a while. The performance of the browser is nice, as is its pop-up blocking.

On the shortcut you use for the browser try right-clicking on it and selecting properties.

Then look for the shortcut tab and see if you can select maximized from the run option dropdown.

Click Apply.

Thank you, but it does not work. I can change it to maximized but the program still opens not maximized, the suggestion from the shortcut is overruled somehow.
