Comment (by Thorin):

 It would also allow extra space on the urlbar to add a button to reset
 window size to default (see #16364)

 Are you guys seeing a theme here? Or do you want MOAR reasons? :)

 Even if increasing the width to 1200 or 1400 created 3 or 6 new buckets of
 'w'x'h', those buckets still wouldn't be unique - they would be populated
 with more than enough users. In other words, it's still useless as a FPing
 measure.

 Would you like me to do an analysis on the top 300 screen resolutions? Are
 there even that many for laptops/desktops? Yes, I know factors such as
 task bars should be taken into account. If you want, I'll do one.
