#11078: TBB Doesn't Respond to Programmatic Maximize Request

--------------------------------------+-----------------------
I use TBB on Gnome3 (Debian Wheezy). Past versions of TBB would respond
to programmatic screen maximize requests from a *devilspie* daemon that
recognized windows titles (or application names) as soon as they appeared.
Many applications such as *emacs* and *gnome-terminal* still do. The
version of Firefox included in the current TBB does not. I understand
this is an anti-fingerprinting "feature" that has been introduced
recently.
The TBB default window size does not fit entirely on my screen. In
particular the URL Status line is off the bottom of the screen. It is
impractical for me to run TBB with the default window dimensions. I
imagine it is for many other users, too. This attempt to enforce a
default window configuration needs to be relaxed; you can take anti-
fingerprinting only so far.
I am able to F11 to full-screen, but this requires intervention and
deprives me of the shell status bar.
I am able to maximize TBB manually. Apparently it will accept a
programmatic maximization request from the shell. I just need it to
respond to an automatic request from a running daemon, as well.
Thanks for your attention. -ccr-
