I have investigated this issue and discussed it with the Mozilla Embedding
folks. The Javascript properties such as window.outerWidth, are properties of
the XULWindow holding the nsIWebBrowser. For embedding clients, there is no hook
provided for Javascript to query the chrome provider (the embedding client) to
get such property info. Also there is no compelling usage scenario for the
embedding API's to provide such hooks. As such this feature will not be provided.

Closing the bug.
