Maximize/restore via doubleclick

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I liked this addon, but it has one flaw. If you like to doubleclick on titlebar 
for maximizing/restoring windows quickly (instead of wasting time to click 
maximize/restore button on the right side of screen) - this addon is not really 
suitable for you. 

Although this could be easily fixed, if "Drag Window Control" button (provided 
by this addon) would not dissapear in maximized mode. Currently you can 
doubleclick it to maximize window (which is good), but as soon as window 
becomes maximized - button disappers, and you can't doubleclick it again, to 
make window smaller.

Therefore please make option for that button to be always visible.

BTW, there is addon called "Drag-2-Move":
  https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/77700/

Using it together with your addon makes dragging windows really easy, even when 
titlebar is hidden.

Maybe it could be further enhanced, so that right-doubleclick would do 
maximize/restore? And then, both features (right-drag and right-doubleclick) 
could be added into this addon? 

It would allow users to both drag and maximize/restore windows easily, without 
any additional buttons in toolbars.

Just noticed interesting thing, when trying to move MAXIMIZED window with 
Drag-2-Move:
a) if titlebar is NOT hidden - window automatically gets restored to original 
size (as if user would press 'restore' button)
b) if titlebar is hidden - window is NOT restored to original size.

If in b) scenario window size would be restored too - it would be great. 
Although I do not know who is responsible for restoring window to original size 
in case a) - windows OS, firefox, drag-2-move or hide-caption-titlebar-plus, 
therefore no clue how this behavious could be achieved in scenario b).

I second this request, double clicking the blank space next to the tabs should 
maximize/restore the window. Tab Mix Plus currently uses this area to open a 
new tab on double click but you can tell it not to in the options.

Other than this little problem, this is a fantastic addon. I'm using it with 
Operetta advanced and it makes Firefox 10x better.

"Tab Mix Plus currently uses this area to open a new tab on double click but

Actually, *Firefox* uses that area to open a new tab on double-click. Tab Mix 
Plus simply allows you to override the default. This change to Hide Caption 
Titlebar Plus overrides default Firefox behavior without giving the user the 
option to restore it. That's not how this (or any) add-on should behave.

Double-clicking in the empty space on the tab bar has long been defined in FF 
as a means of opening a new tab. With FF4's new Tabs on Top option, I 
understand the desire to change this: when the tabbar is the top-most bar, 
users who are used to double-clicking the titlebar to max/res would reasonably 
expect double-clicking on the tabbar to do the same thing.

HOWEVER, for users whose tabbar isn't on top (FF thankfully gives us the 
option), it makes absolutely no sense that double-clicking on the tabbar would 
do anything other than open a new tab. The only menu/row where a user would 
reasonably expect a double-click to max/res the screen is the topmost menu/row. 
Therefore, it makes sense to only have tab-bar doubleclicks max/res the window 
when Tabs on Top is enabled.

Overriding the default browser behavior without giving the user an option to 
revert it—especially when the "feature" is not a primary or essential reason 
why a user would be using the addon—is poor form. So please add an option for 
this: "Double-click on tab bar: Maximize/Restore window; Open new tab".

Currently unchecking the "drag unmaxed Fx window using Tab-bar background" 
option, which is at the bottom of the "Look & Feel" page will restore the 
ability to double-click to open a new tab. This should really be better labeled.

Unchecking ""drag unmaxed Fx window using Tab-bar background" doesn't allow 
double click to open new tabs here, it still does max/restore window. Please 
fix it. Thanks.

I was also bothered that the double-clicking on the tab bar doesn't open a new 
tab as per default FF behavior but I can confirm that wro's suggestion works on 
my side (having tab bar below address bar)

I cast my vote too for the option to enable/disable the double clicking of the 
tab bar to maximize/minimize the window. 
Double clicking to resize the window just goes in opposition to the logic of 
all past iterations of FireFox.

as the extension makes firefox chrome-like, i think the behaviour should be as 
it is in chrome: (de)maximize on doubleclick. an option to enable/disable this 
is of course okay.
