WebMail Notifier 2.9.2 Firefox doesnt open maximized

Steps to reproduce bug:
Setup new profile
Maximize firefox window
Set firefox to show windows and tabs from last time
Add master password
Install WebMail Notifier 2.9.2
Restart firefox
No matter how many time you set maximize firefox when you exit or restart it doesnt remember to open up maximized.
I saw this post: http://webmailnotifier.mozdev.org/drupal/content/strange-problem-if-wmn-...
but that didn't fix my problem since I didn't have "Internet Download Manager" installed ever.
Other add-ons?
One might wonder if you have another add-on (besides IDM) that might help cause the situation... and you might only be able to isolate it by starting with a fresh profile, install WMN... then add the others one at a time.
If you have a fresh profile and install just WMN and FF can then start maximized... well... that's a point in WMN's favor. Still might be an odd programming quirk but it wouldn't be jamming Firefox.

No other addons
I don't understand how adding "other" addons one at a time will cause the problem to go away. The problem is with WebMail Notifier not other addons. I tested it out in a brand new profile with no other addons ever installed. Can anyone else test this out?
Oops
I guess I missed the part about no other add-ons... since the previous poster did isolate an add-on (IDM) causing the same problem (for him).
First... I have Firefox 10.0 with DownThemAll! 2.0.12, Skype Click to Call 5.9.0.9216 and... WebMail Notifier 2.9.2 ...and I maximized Firefox... then I clicked the red 'X' to close the program... and when I started Firefox back up... it came up maximized.
NO problem with Firefox maximizing on startup with WMN loaded and enabled ...for me. BUT... I don't use 'Show windows and tabs from last time'.
I'll try a fresh profile.
[EDIT]
Ok... I tried a fresh profile, as per your instructions... and duplicated your situation.
Then... I used my original profile...
1.) All I had to do was set Tools, Options, "When Firefox starts:" to 'Show my windows and tabs from last time' ...and FF would no longer maximize on startup.
2.) All I had to do (in Tools, Add-ons)... was 'Disable' WMN and then FF would 'remember' being maximized.
So, it would seem you've located a conflict. I would email wmnsupport (a-t) gmail with a subject like "FOUND Bug" and describe it... or Tobwithu might catch it up here in forum ;)
