1406589 - single-dash -window-size flag hangs browser (as does double-dash variant on Windows)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox :: Headless, enhancement, P3)

Description

Unlike the --headless and --screenshot flags, the single-dash variant of the --window-size flag (i.e. -window-size) doesn't seem to work.  When I use it on Mac, Windows, and Linux, it hangs the process and doesn't produce a screenshot:

Strangely the double-dash variant also hangs the browser on Windows.

This should be fixed by bug 1406590 for Mac and Linux.  Unsure about Windows.

This may be a specific case of the more general issue that double-dash arguments aren't supported on Windows.
