Comment(by cypherpunks):

 Okay, I went back and tried about 20 different versions from here:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-everywhere.git/tags and documented
 what happened. It took me a stupidly long time to realize that since 2.x
 there have been 2 dialogs both titled "HTTPS Everywhere Preferences", the
 rules dialog and the "meta" dialog. I'd only used the one from Tools ->
 Addons -> Options, so then I had to try them all again. Ah well.

 I was also confused because I couldn't find any resizable dialog in any of
 the versions, but maybe I was mistaken before. After I chanced upon the
 handy toolbar button for toggling site rules on & off I didn't need the
 dialog(s) much, but ANYWAY.

 The problem is with the screenshotted meta dialog with the two tabs.
 Nothing is broken with the separate rules dialog or observatory dialog in
 Firefox 3 in any HTTPS Everywhere 2.x or 3.x (although they are a fixed
 size). The meta dialog is the stupidly small one; it's never been right.

 Since this problem is worked around by using the individual dialogs either
 from the toolbar button or Tools -> HTTPS Everywhere, and since it only
 affects Firefox 3, I guess it's not really worth fretting about.

 (I'm trying to migrate to Firefox 10 ESR, but it's complicated..)
