269448 - initial browser window size is too large

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 218214

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Daryle Walker]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I use a 1024x768 size screen.  When I ran FireFox for the first time, its
initial window was large, off-center, and violated the Dock's space.  Since no
PowerPC-based Mac, including the ones running Mac OS X, has ever had a screen
smaller 640x480, maybe the initial window size/position should work within that,
like a {(0, 20), (400, 320)} rectangle location.  Yeah, it's overkill, but it
always works.


Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install FireFox on a Mac that's never had it before.  (Or at least had all
previous evidence removed.)
2.Run FireFox for the first time.
3.

Actual Results:  
The window was postitioned to overlap the Dock's space on the bottom of the screen.

Expected Results:  
The first browser window should be positioned in a non-arbitrary location, or at
least not intrude into the Dock's space.  (The solution may require windows
asking the Dock where it can go before placement.)
