1303367 - Default window.open() scrollbars param to "yes" for compatibility and user-friendliness

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1257887

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Cree]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160823121617

Steps to reproduce:

window.open('', url, 'left=0,width=1200,height=1500'); for example supplies several parameters but omits 'scrollbars'.


Actual results:

window.open() opens a new window without scrollbars.


Expected results:

The "scrollbars" param should default to yes, just as it does on other browsers, ie Chrome.

Firefox 49 has changed the default value to "yes". See https://www.fxsitecompat.com/en-CA/docs/2016/pop-up-window-is-now-scrollable-by-default/
