I belive this is similar to bug #148958
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148958). Mozz seems to ignore the
size requirements of javascript windows, but helpfully follows all other window
hints (such as whether to allow window resizing) leading to frequently un-usable
pop ups. An example of this my be found at
http://bventertainment.go.com/movies/spiritedaway/index2.html
their code requests a 400x420 window, however Moz generates a widow which is
much narrower. This page renders correctly in Opera 6.03, and MSIE 5.5. A
screenshot of the problem may be found at
http://www.geocities.com/rafemonkey/mozScreen.jpg and the correct display may be
seen here http://www.geocities.com/rafemonkey/opScreen.jpg (Though I notice that
Opera ignores the other window hints... Yay Mozilla!)
And, just to be complete here is the code that generates popups for the above site:
function popWindow(url, width, height, windowName)
    {
        //get center coords
        var leftPosition = (screen.width - width) / 2;
        var topPosition = (screen.height - height) / 2;
        
        win=window.open(url, windowName, 'width=' + width + ',height=' + height
+ ',left=' + leftPosition + ',top=' + topPosition +
',toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0');
    }

and the call that makes the window in question:
function trailersPopup()
    {
        popWindow("trailers.html", 400, 420, "trailers");
    }

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://bventertainment.go.com/movies/spiritedaway/index2.html
2.clock on trailers button
3.watch in amazement

Actual Results:  
got an incorrectly sized window (see
http://www.geocities.com/rafemonkey/mozScreen.jpg )

Expected Results:  
rendered a properly sized window (see
http://www.geocities.com/rafemonkey/opScreen.jpg )

My computer is a AMD k6-2 550 with 256mb rame, a TNT2 m64, and 2 or 3 gigs free
on the harddrive. In Scrips & plugins preferences, I have enabled "Move or
resize windows".

Ugh... Yahoo won't let you link directly to images. Please use:
http://www.geocities.com/rafemonkey/mozScreen.html
and
http://www.geocities.com/rafemonkey/opScreen.html
instead of the .jpg files

You don't have the preference to override setting width/height via window.open()
set do you?

Hmm I'm not sure I have that preference...
Under scripts and plugins I have:

allow scripts to...
Open unrequested windows (unchecked)
Move or resize exsisting windows (checked)
Raise or lower windows (unchecked)
Hide the statusbar (unchecked)
Change the statusbar text (unchecked)
Change Images (checked)
Create or change cookies (checked)
Read cookies (checked)

I just dug through the prefs dir (I shoulda thought to
look there first) but didn't find anything relating to
window.open(). I checked pref\all.js and a bunch of
others.

I bet this is the case, I just noticed that when the
window of my browser is "unmaximized" it's the same
size as the windows that get popped up... But I can't
find this preference anywhere, where does it usualy
live?

A thousand pardons... this apears to be a bug with the lo-fi theme, I switched
themes... and hey presto... works for me. Sorry for the trouble.
