Actual results:

Nothing. Did not work in 8.0b1 either.


Expected results:

The windows size and position should have changed.

How did you call window.moveTo? From a script run in a web page or some other way?

Comment 2

[Mattias]

The call was made from a script on a web page. The page that was running the script was the same that had open the window previously. Tried with the call initiated in 2 different ways: from setInterval and from a button click.

This is intended.

Are you sure j.j.?
I think script from a page that originally opened the window is supposed to still be able to resize the window it created.

Mattias we would need to see the code (or URL) how you do it, to be sure about the relation of the script page to the window.

Mattias, do you have Firebug installed?

If yes, possible dupe of Bug 691693.

> Are you sure j.j.?
I didn't bother much with details. Feel free to change it if appropriate.

Comment 8

[Mattias]

I tried with firebug disabled and it solved the problem.

Great. Per the comments in bug 565541 it will be solved in Firebug 1.9a4 soon.
