693151 - Firefox 7.0.1 does not allow resize of popup window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 691693

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[yossi eilaty]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1
Build ID: 20110928134238

Steps to reproduce:

I have a popup window which is resizing itself upon load using a call to window.resizeBy


Actual results:

With the latest release of Firefox (7.0.1) the window would not resize.
I suspect the reason is the fix of bug 565541 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565541) but the problem is that this is a popup window and still refuses to resize.
I have reduced the problem to the minimal code that still demonstrates it, you can find it here: http://www.eilaty.net/ff7bug/


Expected results:

The window should resize.

Test case works for me (resizes on load and on clicking the link) on Nightly.

Possibly a duplicate of bug 691693, if you have Firebug installed, and the resizing works with it disabled.
