Firefox extends its vertical size each time it is started
This glitch happens since I've started using Firefox several years ago: every time I start Firefox it extends its vertical size by adding some pixels to its top and bottom.
How can I stop it? Restore xulstore.json each time I want to restore the FF window size doesn't look like a good idea.
Attached are screenshots of xulstore.json (colored is the current and black is the backup ones) to show the glitch clearly.
I'm currently using Windows 10 Pro.

Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:
- Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
- Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
- *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data \Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Search for the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

No, I may not. Deleted this file several times, recreated it by Firefox. Still increases its window's vertical size.
