 I've written a small patch for torbutton that forces the content
 ("gBrowser") to have dimensions be a multiple of 200x200. In other words,
 window.innerWidth and window.innerHeight, and similar calls, always return
 a rounded number.

 This should at least provide some protection to users who resize or
 maximize their Tor Browser window with JS activated.

 I haven't dealt with the zooming issue here, but that would be an
 interesting next step.
