 I am concerned that users adding a menu bar or a bookmarks bar to their
 tor browser may be reporting smaller and trackable window heights to
 websites. I am not sure if this is the case, but I suspect so.

 I'd make the case that reporting a set window size to websites regardless
 of what the actual Tor window is is the safest option. An extra button
 between minimize and maximize could resize the window to the expected size
 when needed.

 Another reason to consider this option is that well-meaning users trying
 to move the window sometimes wind up resizing it without intent, or in
 trying to resize it dispell the warning and work in another size window.
 This is difficult to avoid with trackpads, which are prone to drag-and-
 drop errors. And then the user must choose between restarting the browser
 and losing work or potentially not even realise it and continue working in
 a compromised manner.
