From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.1 i686; en-US; 0.8) Gecko/20010212
BuildID: 2001021208
We already block popups. However, we should also block using javascript to make
the window full screen.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the site
Actual Results: It made the window fullscreen
Expected Results: Mozilla should not let javascript move the window manager's
controls (title bar, borders, etc) out of the visible screen area.
There should be a preference to completely block javascript from moving a window
and/or resizing it (else a site can annoyingly make a window "dance" in front of
a user). It can be a hidden pref like popup blocking.
Additional notes:
popup blocking works too well. Form data saving works poorly. An iteraction
between both made me lose my previous attempt of reporting this, since the bug
form couldn't open its popup. Augh.

According to pointers from shaver, this is one of the issues covered by
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html and from a
quick read, bug 858. The problem is a lack of UI to let the user define the
security policies. I'm not familiar with this area. I'll cc myself and see what
happens.
mstoltz/ckritzer: what is the situation with this?

UI for this is coming. I'll leave this bug open rather than duping it so we
remember to add this specific case to the list of things that can be blocked.

See also bug 60323, Don't allow JS in Web pages to resize my browser window.
I added a list of hidden prefs to set in order to stop sites from
resizing/moving windows at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html#examples.
cesarb@dcc.ufrj.br: when you load http://www.warezcrawler.net/, does part of the
window end up off of the screen? If so, that's a bug. What window manager are
you using?

Only the window border (i.e., the part Enlightenment 0.16.5 manages) gets out of
the screen. Mozilla seems to have saved the size of that window (I think there's
another bug on it), and it's exactly 1024x768 (after closing the window, I used
Ctrl+N to create a new window. This new window was partly offscreen, since the
border wasn't; E put it at +0+0)
So, none of mozilla was out of the screen; but Enlightenment's border for
Mozilla's window was completely out of the screen. Quite exciting for a kiosk
mode, pretty annoying for anything else. I don't know whether it's possible to
figure the size of the window borders from within mozilla.

This is pretty much a dup of bug 75371, UI prefs to control pop-up (popup)
windows and other Javascript annoyances.
cesarb: please should file a bug on the fact that a window can become large
enough to make the titlebar disappear. If a site did that and also told
Mozilla not to display menus and toolbars, a site could create a full-screen
browser window with no UI. Some porn sites *already* exploit a similar (but
intentional) bug in Internet Explorer in order to make it hard for you to close
their pop-up ads before reading them. Mozilla's policy is that web pages
shouldn't be able to make their windows larger than a maximized window without
chrome privs (see "JavaScript Features Requiring Privileges" on
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/signed-scripts.html), and
from your description it sounds like that isn't working correctly under
Enlightenment.

Fixed in bug 75371. Porn surfers, rejoice! (If you didn't get enough rejoicing
from the other parts of bug 75371, that is.)
For reference: this new option is under Edit, Preferences, Advanced,
Scripts&Windows.
