Why won't Safari remember full-screen setting

Can't be of any help sorry but it's driving me insane. Hopefully Apple fix it in the next update.
This doesn't happen to me, when I close safari using cmd + Q and reopen, it automatically goes into full screen mode.
What would also be a nice add on is remembering your preferred text size, so that when i hit the macrumours site, resize the text an dclick on a thread it stays at that size !!!!
That's strange. Anyone have ideas as to why Safari reopens as fullscreen in some but not others systems? Closing Safari by command-Q or command-W makes it reopen non-full screen in my system
I'm having the same problem.
Only way I can get it to stay full screen is if I check off "reopen windows when I login" when I log off my system, and that is if I leave Safari open when I log off.
Otherwise, anytime I launch it, it doesn't open in full screen, just in a window.
I recently re-installed Lion, this never happened before.

open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"
Yes, the deactivation of "Close windows when quitting an application" works in terms of re-opening Safari in full-screen mode but the annoying thing it opens on the last page you were browsing instead of your home page so it's not a 100% fix. C'mon Apple, you need to do better than that.
Incidentally, I only switched to Mac OSx from Windows after they finally made a "Full Screen" button. That took many many years for a simple feature!

It will only open whatever your last window was but if you close this window before quitting it will open your home page in a small window only and not in full screen. There is no true way to make it open in full screen by default.
