From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win98; en-US) Mozilla/m13 BuildID: 2000022820 All new windows or dialog boxes open in the upper left corner of the screen. Not really a serious bug but quite annoying. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open a new browser window/download a file/open the preferences box/etc... Actual Results: The resulting window will be positioned in the upper left corner of the screen. Expected Results: A normal window should get a default position based on the position of a previously opened window and a dialog box should be centered on the screen.
A 02/28 build does not include a number of significant changes to persisting window open states, but I have on my to-do list a need to draw up a test plan to check all the permutations of these settings. So I'll take the bug for now, and get that test plan in place.

*** Bug 33289 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
From bug 33289: this is particularly annoying if the windows taskbar is at the top of the screen, because the top of the new window ends up under the taskbar.
Bug 17149 is one possible way to do this. (sorry for all the spam)

I'm not seeing this bug anymore.. I'm seeing bug 25455 instead.
This bug has not been touched since 2000-12-10, therefore this reminder. I don't see the bug anymore, and the bug mentioned in comment #5 is fixed. Reporter could you please verify if this problem is gone and close the bug if it is.
I see it happen on Solaris(trunk_0925), not windows and Linux
Attached file testcase (deleted) —
I see this on Linux with 1.4a and 1.4b (RHL 8). I don't remember this occurring prior to that, but it apparently also happens on Debian stable & and Debian testing which has version 2:1.0.0-0.woody.1 (whatever that means). It's extremely annoying. Once I had a site whose broken javascript would open a new window that had the same content as the one already there every time I clicked a link and I never noticed because it showed up in the exact same place. (So I thought it was doing nothing instead.)

Still happening?

The bug assignee didn't login in Bugzilla in the last 7 months.
