Related browser hate: when a browser window resizes itself, and I=20
kill the window, the browser "helpfully" remembers the size and when
you create another browser window (including exiting the browser and
firing it up again), it creates the window in that size.=20

Only way out of it seems to scale a window to you preferred size,=20
wait about ten minutes, kill that window and wait another ten minutes
before creating a new window. Only then it has forgotten the size.
