gnome 3.16 firefox still does not remember position
Firefox and Iceweasel under Gnome 3.16 still do not remember the windows position.
When I restart them, their window is always full screen.
Referring to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=196067
The issue is not solved. Both solutions work, but only for a moment. Next time I close and open Firefox again, it is again at full screen size. This also happens with Gnome 3.16 in Debian 8.4, where it is the default desktop. I am really surprised that such bugs remain unfixed in such "main stream" environments. Problem also exists if you make a fresh install of Debian and create the entire user home and Firefox profile from scratch. Irritating.

Re: gnome 3.16 firefox still does not remember position
Are you really still running gnome 3.16? When is the last time you did a full system update?

Yes, I need 3.16. Is it fixed in later versions of Gnome?

No idea, I don't use gnome. You're unlikely to get much support for such an old version of gnome (on these forums at least).

It doesn't seem like you are using Archlinux, but rather are using Debian. Help in this forum is meant for users of Archlinux, as any solutions may not translate across distributions.
Secondly, you are using a two year old version of Gnome. It is very likely that his issue has long since been fixed. I encourage you to find a way to update to a more recent version of Gnome. I can verify that firefox in Gnome 3.20 does remember window position.
I don't really know what I'm doing.
