window.open has a flag which allows the site to ask the browser to open a new window without - main menu and/or - icon bar and/or - urlbar and/or and/or - personal toolbar and/or - status bar. I don't want sites to influence that. The designer might think that it 'looks better', if a definition or or legal terms or whatever opens without browser UI, but I disagree. I might want to increase the text size or whatever. Give me an option so that these flags for window.open are ignored. Implementation might be similar to bug 86282.

Bug 64560 would achieve the same goal, even better, but will be harder to implement.

Let me contribute my observations and opinions. It is OK for me that a window opens this way. But it should always be possible to make the missing parts available again. In addition to Ben's list: 1) Always allow to maximize, minimize or resize arbitrarily. 2) Always allow scrollbars 2) is especially important since many pages are made to work exactly under Windows (the Version the developer uses) with IE (the Version the developer uses). With other Browsers, including Mozilla;-), the content simply does not fit the window. Without scrolling there is no way to reach the content. Maximizing sometimes would help (see 1)), but not always. The following might be related. If not I would be glad to hear if there is a bug about this I cannot find or if I should open a new one. Opening a new windows with JavaScript also can position the window. This sometimes happens such that not all of the window actually is on the screen. So I have to move the window by hand, even if there would have been enough space in the first place. This should not happen. The same holds for opening windows which do not fit the screen. pi

As far as UI, this should go under the Scripts & Windows pane in the prefs. For clarification, is this bug about creating the ability in the backend to do this, or the UI frontend, or both? Cc += me

This is just bug 107949, right? (that one is assigned to the right component, btw; this one is not)
