When I go to http://www.intel.com/support/processors/core2duo/sb/cs-023108.htm the page un-maximizes.  An alternative way to test this is to type "core 2 thermal" into a Google search and click on the first result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Maximize Firefox Window
2. Go to http://www.intel.com/support/processors/core2duo/sb/cs-023108.htm
3. Notice how the page un-maximizes

Not a bug.

Quick search of their source gives:
"//in Firefox we need to fire a window resize event in order to display the question the first time"

This seems to be their intended behavior, for whatever odd reason.

Go to edit->preferences->content then click on the "advanced" button to the right of the JavaScript checkbox and uncheck "move or resize existing windows" to disable the permissions that allow sites to do this.  With this checked the window resizes on load; with this unchecked it does not.

Your right Dave Garrett, this is intended behavior, 'Go to edit->preferences->content then click on the "advanced" button to the
right of the JavaScript checkbox and uncheck "move or resize existing windows"
to disable the permissions that allow sites to do this.  With this checked the
window resizes on load; with this unchecked it does not.' disables the un-maximize behavior.
