When I open a new window in Safari it's small

Question

When I open a new window in Safari it's small

Safari used to open windows in a size simular to the sized of the original window but now every new window must be enlarged to be usable.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Hi Leslie....

Try deleting the cache associated with Safari.

Open the Finder. From the menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder

Typs this exactly as you see it here: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db

Click Go

Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.

Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Didn't work on my MBA with the latest software. This problem just started popping up (pooping) about a week ago. While it's no problem to resize, it is very annoying.
