----------------------------------+---------------------------
 When starting TBB 3.5.3 with a vertically oriented monitor, my default
 window size is highly identifiable - even though it is rounded to 100px.
 (size is 1000x1700x24)

 Deleting the tor_browser directory and extracting a new version did not
 fix this issue.

 Attempting to resize the window manually leads to odd (not round) values
 that are also identifiable.
