Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When I click on a link on this page, eg on 'accounts':

http://help.myob.com.au/acct17/win/impexptables.htm

then Firefox resizes its window. I don't think it is desirable behaviour - note that Opera doesn't do this.

If you then resize Firefox, eg by maximizing its window, and press the back button, Firefox doesn't resize but instead tries to draw the entire page in a small area at the top of the current tab.

Version info:

Ubuntu 8.04 beta
firefox 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu1

I just disabled all my extensions (including Ubuntu firefox modifications) via the Tools/Add-ons dialog and restarted firefox, and it still resizes the window when loading that weblink. This is on firefox 3.0.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2 on Intrepid.
