Details

The width and height of the popup are limited by firefox to 800 x 600 pixels:

At the same time, 1080p screens are very popular now. Higher screen resolutions are also available now including 4K and 8K:

Popup windows for some extensions, like Tab Session Manager, contain plenty of information (about sessions), making difficult to navigate. Here is the example of request from Tab Session Manager support page:
https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager/issues/245
https://github.com/sienori/Tab-Session-Manager/issues/269
Previously, XUL addons like Session Manager, were able to create huge window containing information about sessions, which could be extended to entire screen.

Thus, it is necessary to increase significantly the size of popup window for Webextensions.
