Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Replying to [comment:122 Diapolo]:
 > Ping, who is able to sort this out? Really this needs an UI option to
 turn it off.

 Sorry for not answering before. I just tried with Tor Browser 5.0a2:

 1. Started Tor Browser and confirmed windows were getting auto-resized
 2. Set "extensions.torbutton.resize_windows" pref to false
 3. Quit and restarted Tor Browser
 4. Confirmed that "extensions.torbutton.resize_windows" was still false
 5. Confirmed that windows were no longer getting resized

 So I'm not sure why this isn't working for you. Can you confirm that it's
 still not working, and whether you are able to see any error messages in
 the browser console window?

 Also, if you can briefly mention why you need to turn off auto-resizing,
 that might also be helpful. We're hoping to protect users from being
 fingerprinted by their window size, without negatively affecting usability
 (much).
