Is this to place to report extension bugs?
I didn't see any obvious place in the Add-ons menu.

The above URL describes and illustrates the problem with the
Resizable Textarea extension (which is otherwise very useful).

The original window size can cause unnecessary whitespace
and an unnecessary horizontal scroll bar.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Resizable Textarea extension.
2.Start with a very wide window.
3.Load http://www.math.uwaterloo.ca/~rbutterworth/ff-rsta-bug.html
4.Make window narrow.
Actual Results:  
A horizonal scroll bar appears.

Expected Results:  
All of the scrolled-out-of-window area is only whitespace.

Not produced the unnecessary scroll bar.

Note that I don't think it is the browser itself that's at fault.
It's doing what would be the right thing based on the code that gets inserted
at the end of the document (strangely, between </body> and </html>).

No it is not. This is the place to file bugs for Mozilla software and this extension is not by Mozilla. You need to report problems with non-Mozilla add-ons to their authors.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3818

Though, there is no contact method given. This extension is no longer under development, as far as I know. I use it too, so yes, it's a little annoying. It's very old and abandoned and needs a new developer to adopt it.

Sorry. Closing as INVALID because this is not a Mozilla bug.
