234934 - changing desktop size doesn't update window sizes firefox

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 206435

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael van Eeden]

User-Agent:       
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

when 'taking over' a desktop by using Windows Remote Desktop Connection Firefox
doesn't change it's internal ideas about what fullscreen is (ie what the
resolution of the desktop is). Even going back to window mode and back to full
screen still leaves a lot of the web page off screen if the new screen size is
smaller. Only closing the browser and opening it again ensures Firefox 'knows'
the new dimensions.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox on desktop computer
2. Connect to that computer using RDC from a computer with different resolution


Actual Results:  
In my case the resolution of the second computer is smaller than the first, so a
lot of the screen is not visible until the browser is restarted.

Expected Results:  
it should have noticed the window dimension change and should have investigated
at that point if the desktop size has changed too.
