276586 - Request for better window zooming in OS X

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 232919

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

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

Zoom button behaviour in Firefox currently seems to 
-move window to upper left corner
-set window height to maximum available space between menu and the dock
-set window width to some fixed value x?

First two behaviours are fine, but I think that 3rd one would be more useful if
window width would be set to: 
min(screenwidth, minimum_width_to_make_horizontal_scrollbar_disappear);

That would make zoom more "OS X -like" and easier for user to get rid of
horizontal scrolling, while still avoiding to use full screen windows all the
time. (they are not os x -like either)


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load a wide webpage
2. click the green zoom button in the titlebar
3. notice the unflexible behaviour

Actual Results:  
The window size doesn't care a bit about it's contents.

Expected Results:  
Set window width to minimum needed size to disable horizontal scrolling, or if
this width is bigger than screen width, set window to match screen width.

Shouldn't be needed.

Any chance of this being fixed ever?
