start minimized browser instance with Karma

Question

Everytime I start karma with for testing, a new instance of browser is opened (Firefox in my case). This is annoying because it pops out over the other windows (I am using windows 8).

Is there any karma configuration to make it start minimized? Or maybe another solution which would solve my problem.

The best I've found for Chrome is to set the window-size. It still maximizes but at least you can quickly hit the Restore button to resize it to a small window. I couldn't find an option to not open maximized http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

Here's the Karma config:

browsers: ['Chrome_small'],

customLaunchers: {
  Chrome_small: {
    base: 'Chrome',
    flags: ['--window-size=400,400']
  }
}
