Since a recent upgrade not to long ago. Firefox is always in float mode. I have tried F11, Mod4+m, reworking with scripts, and playing around with firefox. And, it is not just Firefox, but the other browser I use (chromium). Not sure exactly what to do. I have searched online for problem solving this issue, but have been unable to fix it. So, does anyone have an idea of what I should do?
Thanks for your time

Paste your config.

noob question.. but, how or what exactly? The system is full of config files.

Your Awesome config.

I'm pretty sure jasonwryan meant your AwesomeWM configuration.
Edit: Guess I wasn't fast enough :-)

awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "space", awful.client.floating.toggle ),
This line probably. What's the icon showing for firefox in your wibar?

not sure what a wibar is.. but, I suspect you mean the bar that holds all the windows.. and the icon is just the firefox logo. Also any suggestions on how to modify that line? I've tried a lot of things, and still can't get the browsers to float instead of full.

I know that this is an old thread, but I noticed that there was no solution posted.
I was experiencing the same issue. The issue was that I had created the following keybinding to launch firefox (ModKey+B):
awful.key({ modkey, }, "b", launch_browser, {description = "open a browser", group = "launcher"}),
However, this was a "copy-paste" from the entry used to launch a terminal, and thus the group was part of "launcher".
I noticed several other entries below the terminal ModKey line that had groups belonging to "client", so changing it, and restarting AwesomeWM with Ctrl+ModKey+R, seems to have fixed the issue for me.
awful.key({ modkey, }, "b", launch_browser, {description = "open a browser", group = "client"}),
Firefox now tiles correctly and isn't always full screen.
p.s. "launch_browser" in the snippets is a variable name to my anonymous function to launch firefox, defined below as:
launch_browser = function () awful.spawn("firefox") end
