Also as given on bug 489303 comment 77 the border can be modified on Windows 7, which means that some themes will also have a slim border and make it hard for users to resize the window.

I'm confused, there is a resizer on build 1/19 in the addon bar on Windows 7.

Oh, sorry, I have status-4-evar installed which makes it .. I think we should have it though.

Wow, I tried this extension a while before but it didn't had a resizer gripper at that time, and it even add an option to remove the close button now, I won't say this bug doesn't need to be fixed, but I found what I wanted and will probably be fine with it. (It’s just a shame that the more Firefox evolve, the more we need extension to fill gaps)

The add-on bar was removed in Firefox 29.
