Does not sound reasonable to me for you're explicitly asking a window to resize. If you don't want scripts to resize windows you can change that in the Options window tab Content.

Well, see bug 144069 test case attachment 83324 [details], and try to open it in a fullscreen mode. I don't think that it is the right behavior in fullscreen. 
IMHO window movement and resize should be disabled while in fullscreen. Btw, moveTo() does nothing in fullscreen.

From Firefox 1.5.0.6 and Internet Explorer, the behavior is to accept Javascript resize even when the window is in full screen.

I was able to reproduce what the reporter is describing. 

Now to the issue of whether or not it is a bug. I believe it is. One of two things should take place when a window is resized in full screen:

1. Don't allow a resize in full screen mode
2. Take FF out of full screen mode and resize the window.

The reason for this is because the controls could become inaccessible when the window is resized in full screen.

IE7 does not allow to change window size in fullscreen mode.

There should be a decision one way or another.  Requesting blocking-firefox2.

Comment 9

[Mike Beltzner [:beltzner, not reading bugmail]]

Requesting blocking doesn't force a design decision, it forces a question about whether or not we'd hold the release of Firefox 2 until this bug is complete. The answer to that question is "no, we won't".
