Attachment: Wrongly sized page

This is what I see with a fresh profile when javascript is on.

Comment 2

[Peter van der Woude [:Peter6]]

Somehow that page does not have any links that work.
even the <a style="color: #009;" href="mailto:[e-mail]">[e-mail]</a>
link doesn't do anything.

Comment 3

Follow the steps to reproduce.
The bug is seen when navigating 'back' from the URL.
It seems to have appeared between 1.5b1 & 1.5b2
I need a link to the nightlies between those releases to narrow it down further

Attachment: The Correct Behaviour

Comment 6

[Flummox]

The URL uses window.resizeTo to set the screen to 1024x768

This bug is about the behaviour in comment #1 which happens even if the window doesn't appear to have been wrongly resized when loading the URL.

The behaviour in comment #4 seems to be related to Bug 104303 (or is it Bug 103454 ?), though resizing does not usually occur without a page reload.

The bug seems to be linux only.
Neither behaviour is detectable in 1.5b1 or on another linux machine although I always extract the program into an empty directory and start it using a new profile.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20100125 Minefield/3.7a1pre

Works for me.

Can reporter confirm if this bug still occurs for them on a recent Firefox version.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
