 Hi, Tor Button have a serious bug. I use Windows 7 x64.
 It prevent to maximize the window and freeze screen and display driver.
 The only page Tor Browser can be maximized is "about:tor" because it set
 this flag

 '''extensions.torbutton.startup_resize_period''' to false

 all other pages set the flag to true and start the bug to cause the
 freeze.

 the issue is described here.
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbutton.git/tree/src/chrome/content/torbutton.js?id=a6f8dcec3bc11bcfc9ded64943051e2408ee9190#n3598

 and here
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/16725

 But it is SIX months old.
 Really Is it so difficult add a line of code to set the flag to false when
 the user open a new tab?

 I spent half hour EVERY TIME to fix the issue after every system freeze
 and sometimes I have to reinstall Tor Browser from scratch to solve.

 Thank you very much
