Hello!

I set up Mozilla to not allow javascripts to change any window setting (size,
status bar, ...). There is no option to block JS to hide the menubar (including
tab display). That is very annoying. Whenever you load a page including the
following line in a new tab instead of a new window you have no menu bar and
have to navigate "blind".

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
onLoad="window.toolbar.visible=false,window.menubar.visible=false,window.directories.visible=false,window.locationbar.visible=false">

This line is nothing special compared to window resizing and such.
Please add blocking of that menubar hide.
Thanks!

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch off everything JS is able to do
2. Load a page with above line _in a new tab_
3. lose your menubar and tab display



Expected Results:  
There should be an option to disable hiding the menubar and tab display.
There is most certainly a preference for this.  Lack of UI exposing the
preference is a separate issue.

In any case, anything that affects the browser window is probably not a JS
engine bug (rather a DOM or layout bug).
