From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913 BuildID: 2001091313 New browser windows are created larger than the screen. The scroll bar and the resize corner (on the lower right) are off-screen. The workaround is to use the green button in the upper left of the MacOS X window frame (which resizes the window to be smaller than the screen). Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.create a new navigator window by option-clicking on a link and selecting 'open in new window' (or a link that uses javascript to explicitly create a new window) Actual Results: new navigator window is larger than the screen. In particular the lower right corner is off-screen Expected Results: all of new window should be on-screen might be associated with displaying sidebar

Reporter, you've omitted a crucial step in your instructions to reproduce this behavior, and that is how you got Mozilla into the condition where new browser windows are larger than the screen. By default, they aren't; indeed, Fizzilla/2001091313 (0.9.4) works just fine following your instructions. However, what probably happened to you is that you visited a site that opened a new browser window and then enlarged it to fill your screen. You likely closed that window and continued browsing in the original window, but then when you tried to open a new window yourself found them being created larger than your screen. Check back through your browser history and see if you can recall something like this happening. If you can, determine the site URL and post it here as part of more complete reproduction instructions. Thanks.
