Comment:

 Hrmm. It should be automatically rounding up to the next largest 50px
 above your browser window. It is possible the FF3 vs FF4 window
 decorations are slightly smaller, yielding a larger internal window size,
 hence the extra 50px.

 It is debatable what is optimal here. We may want to have an option to try
 to fix all windows at 800x600. See #1282 for that.

 The key property is that your desktop resolution is not directly revealed,
 nor is the size of your browser widgets. I believe these to be the more
 entropy-dense pieces of your resolution information. More so than just
 your desktop size alone... However, desktop resolution is all EFF tested,
 hence you look bad in their result set when you have weird values there..
