== Description ==
Many (poorly behaved) web sites attempt to move and/or resize your browser window. It is possible to stop this behaviour (cf. dom.disable_window_move_resize) but it would be nice to have an infobar that informed the user that a web page attempted to move/resize the window, and allow it or ignore it (default). This behaviour is similar to the current Pop-up Blocker already present in Firefox. NOTE: it is not clear whether such a feature would be accepted in the tree or if this would need to be done as an extension.
== Releases ==
'''Version 1.0a''' <br />
* This patch addresses a simple issue of placing all label required "text" into the properties/dtd files.
* Addresses localization issues
* Patch can be found on bugzilla <br />
'''Version 1.0''' <br />
* This patch is mostly changes to the code to make it work in the latest firefox repository
* Changed the event number to 39. This number will need to be changed if 39 is taken later
* Changed the order of the nsClassInfo.cpp declarations (leaving mine always at the bottom)
* Fixed a number of issues where code conflicted with the newer code in the newer repository.
'''Version 0.9''' <br />
Use '''patch -p1 < InfobarFrontend0.9.txt''' for Front end code <br />
USe '''patch -p1 < InfobarBackEnd0.9.txt''' for Back end code <br />
'''Release Notes'''
* In the Options, Content Tab:
** Added a checkbox to options: Notify Move/Resize. This governs the resizeWindow.show_infobar preference
** Added Exceptions button beside it, which opens the permissions manager to add sites to the allow/block list
* This patch ties all the work together and gives the features a fully accessible interface
* Added one new test to Mochitest which tests the preference
* Fixed a bug where there were two of the same preference names in about:config (pref was added to the wrong file)
* Changed some variable naming conventions (in nsGlobalWindow.cpp is isAbsolute)
* Fixed a bug where isAbsolute is flipped when sent from nsGlobalWindow.cpp
* Added a confirmation to "Allow Once", and it shows the x and y coordinates as well as the command being blocked
** Reason being users weren't able to see what parameters were blocked.
** To allow users some freedom and knowledge about what the blocked command was before allowing it
* Fixed a bug where javascript can crash if you called "Edit options", because it was missing a try and catch block
Bug can be found in the bug info above<br />
'''Version 0.8:''' <br />
Use '''patch -1 < InfobarFrontend0.8.txt''' for Front end code <br />

'''04/09/2009''' -
* Added one new test to Mochitest testing resizeWindow.show_infobar
* Changed some variable names to better reflect their usage
** warningLabel changed to warningLabelKey seeing how this is a key
** isByCommand changed to isAbsolute in nsGlobalWindow.cpp
** fixed a bug where moveTo and moveBy was flipped around when using allowOnce
* Deleted "showEditDialog()" from browser.js gResizedWindowObserver
