When I create and then open an html file with FireFox 7, the window does not resize or move. This is the html in the file I open:

<script language="javascript">

window.location = 'http://www.google.com';
window.outerWidth = 1024;
window.outerHeight = 1136;
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.close;
</script>    

I create a file google.html with the above html data.

I open it using:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" '-new-window google.html

FireFox opens the webpage, but does not move or resize the window. This worked before I upgraded from FireFox 6 to FireFox 7.

This is probably related to this change in FF7:

Aside from capriciously damaging Firefox in this way being VERY inconvenient, it DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS the settings option for

Firefox>Preferences>Content>Enable JavaScript>Advanced !

I.e. FF7 Preferences implies that users CAN allow such [usefuil!] javascript windows resizing/repositioning ... while FF7 refuses to allow users that control! BLEGH!
