There should be an option in the "options" to disable the following javascript
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-(400+98))/2 : 0;
TopPosition = (screen.height) ? (screen.height-400)/2 : 0;
window.resizeTo(400+98, 400);
window.moveTo(LeftPosition, TopPosition);

A lot of sites use this code to resize the browser to fit the page, this is,
however, very annoying if you use tabbed browsing .. since all the sessions are
resized.

Reproducible: Always

William, please go to Options->Web Features and click on the "Advanced" button
next to "Enable Javascript". In the dialog that opens, the first option should
be "Move or resize existing windows". Is this option checked or unchecked? Does
unchecking it fix your issue?

Resolved "there should be, there is, and in 1.5 it looks like it will be on by
default"
