User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041103 Firefox/1.0RC2

I came across this site, and noticed Firefox spontaneously unmaximizes the main
browser window.

I read the Mozilla Web Developer FAQ and from what I can tell, that page is
loading in Quirks mode, but that's still no reason for it to have any bearing on
whether or not Firefox is maximized.

I see nothing in that source that would cause such behavior to occur.

Just thought I'd let you know before you released 1.0 Final.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. View the page.

Actual Results:  
The browser window unmaximized itself.

Expected Results:  
Stayed maximized.

http://www.theglobalchat.net/profiles/popup.js:

function NS6bugfix(){
if(!IE5){
self.resizeBy(0,1);
self.resizeBy(0,-1);
}}

To resizeBy, you have to unmaximize first. Just another ghostly hack around
something that seemed important to someone at the time, now giving a tiny
annoyance to anyone in a standards-compliant browser who happens by (since they
will be "fixing" anything that knows getElementById but not document.all).

If you don't like being jerked around, uncheck Tools-Options-Web
Features-Javascript Advanced-Move or resize existing windows, and Mary-Kate and
Ashley won't be able to move you anymore.
