In emacs -Q fiddle in the menus, clicking
<menu-bar> <options> <showhide> <showhide-tool-bar> etc.

Notice how emacs cannot keep itself constant size, but the whole of
emacs grows and shrinks along with its tool and menu bars.

Now contrast this with firefox, View-> [check/uncheck some tool etc.
bars]

Notice how the whole of firefox stays the same size.

In emacs one must first click the "maximize" button in the upper right
corner for things to work out well, and such changes not to change
emacs's total size.

For firefox, that one clicked "maximize" is remembered between sessions.

For emacs I have to use the complicated

without the bars at startup.
