 Following the discussion at
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/31512#comment:10 where I
 suspect changes to the inner window are happening. Of the plethora of
 things that can alter the inner window measurements....

 `ui.key.menuAccessKey` = `0` will disable the alt key toggling the menu
 bar on and off

 Letterboxing solves this issue, but it can also be very annoying if your
 letterboxed height keeps jumping sizes. It's not the only thing that can
 alter your height, but it is something that users can inadvertently
 trigger (I have fat thumbs, 10 of them, and it really annoys me: hence I
 set this myself in Firefox)

 I'll leave it up to you. If the threat is mitigated, then why remove
 functionality. Feel free to close... or action ...
