Comment (by sleurn):

 Similarly, with the same machine running 32-bit Debian Linux:

 Debian's Iceweasel 24.8.1 (independently of whether the menu bar is shown
 or not) is shown as 1024x600x24 ("one in 170.71 browsers have this value")

 Whereas tor-browser-linux32-4.0.1_en-US.tar.xz (menu bar always disabled)
 results in 1024x442x24 ("one in 157942.53 browsers have this value")
