It would be useful to have a checkbox next to each setting to indicate whether the dimensions are for the whole browser window or just the content area.
That way, I wouldn't have to go into the Web Console, query outerHeight - innerHeight + desiredInnerHeight (and the same for width, if on Windows).
I was developing a kiosk app that will show full-screen on a 1920x1080 monitor, so I wanted a content window of exactly that size, so that I could see how it will look.
It would also be useful to be able to assign key-chords to the settings. That would speed up testing: make a change, reload the page, and cycle through your target sizes by hitting the appropriate keys

Very useful to maintain firefox window size

This tool provides great way to see what a site looks like when the user has a given size of screen and the browser configured a given way (e.g. number of toolbars and such nonsense)
Things I'd like to see added.
1) better list of standard defaults based on what is in common use including sizes of common tablets in portrait and landscape
2) option of a 'label' on a resolution, helpful to remind you why you care.. Display in the list when choosing, but not once chosen.
e.g. a portion of the default list might look like this
768 x 1024 ipad -portrait
768 x 1366 surface -portrait
800 x 1232 xoom -portrait
1024 x 768 ipad -landscape
1280 x 752 xoom -landscape
1366 x 768 surface -landscape

This is a good functional addon. I'd like to see an option to save the size of common web pages to avoid having to set them again each time the browser is reloaded. Otherwise, thank you for this and I hope future versions will have more functionality.

EDIT after discussion with the developer :
This tool is set up to measure the size of the entire screen (and does it perfectly), but not for the size of the viewport, as needed for responsive designe development. Please take this in account and use Mozilla developer tool for responsive development preferably.
Five stars for developer help and quick answers !
OLD review : Doesn't work perfectly, adds some extra width due to the scroll bar. Anyway Firefox now has a responsive design option in its developer tools...EDIT (reply to dev answer) : in W7 - Firefox V18.0.2, when you compare the developer view (CTRL-SHIFT-M) width value and the firesizer width value: you should get very different pixel width values... I can PM you more info or help to debug if you wish.
I would be glad to address whatever you think "doesn't work perfectly". I have not had any other reports of issues with this extension.

This addon does the job pretty well but I have one issue with it.
When I start Firefox I get a blank Bar above the Add-on Bar which drive me crazy so I have to hide then show the Add-on Bar again to get raid of this annoying blank Bar. This has been for months and I thought it was a Firefox bug that will get fixed eventually but it didn't so I decided to make sure it has nothing to do with any of my installed addons. I started disabling every addon I installed then restart Firefox until this annoying blank Bar stopped showing .. that was after I disabled Firesizer. I actually did several tests before I write this review to make sure it's the reason for that.
I'm happy to give Firesizer five-stars rating once this issue has been resolved because the addon itself really does its job.
Thanks and looking forward to your reply.

Very usefull addon, though I would like it to be a button which could be placed anywhere, rather than a text in a fixed position on the bottom-right corner.

Thank you for a good add-on. I wish I could move it out of the Add-on toolbar, which I never use. Also, I wish I could name the sizes to more easily identify them. Still worth keeping.

Being able to resize to some saved sizes is only part of the solution. Must be able to save the positions, also... or at least provide a way to say "move window to NE, or NW, or SE, or SW... Please provide me with the code so that I can write my own add-on. Of course I only need this because they BROKE the functionality of re-sizing and re-positioning inside bookmarks (by providing the MALFUNCTIONING FUNCTIONALITY of "allowing only OK'd sites to do so" (meaning, "allowing no sites to do so no matter which way you check the "option").

I like this add-on a lot. It's good for testing how web pages look at various resolutions.
However, I feel there's a small bug (version 1.7). With Firefox maximized, it reports the resolution in the corner at "1456x856"; this is odd, because the label on my monitor says that it has a 1440 x 900 resolution. In my Nvidia Control Panel applet, that, too, confirms that I have my resolution set at "1440 x 900 (native)." I am using a two-line permanent taskbar (Windows Vista), so I lose height pixels, but I'm puzzled how the reported width can be greater than 1440.
EDIT: After reading orev's response, below, I am now more educated, and sort of retract this bug comment... or more appropriately, perhaps I should assign it to Windows. (I'm using Vista Home Premium, SP2, by the way.)
The essence of this "bug" lies within Windows itself. When you have the browser window in "window" mode (not full screen), the height and width are calculated (by Windows) including the application area itself, and also the borders around the application. Windows 7 uses somewhat thick borders to create the appearance of glass windows. Other versions of Windows use different sizes, and it's also different on Mac and Linux.
When you maximize the window, Windows plays a trick by making the application big enough so you can't see the borders, but they are still there; off the edge of the screen. Firesizer has no way to know this, and the width of the border can be different on every system, so there is no way to simply fudge the numbers if you are in full screen mode.

Lacking only an option to put anywhere else besides obsolete addon bar. Toolbar or menu bar would be great.

This addon has helped me test the look and feel of my sites on various resolutions for years, and it would get 5 stars but... it is now my last addon to be left in the status/addon bar. Please create a toolbar button for swapping resolutions... please!

You have an extra closing tag in the firesizer.xul file.
Either get rid of the <"/>" or <"/menupopup>" after the opening <"menupopup>" tag.

5 stars until today when I updated to 1.6. Wish I hadn't. Same problem reported by previous two reviewers: it's disappeared from the status bar. Help!!
EDIT: Never mind the "help!!" part—I just went to the version history page and restored v. 1.5 for now.

Sorry about the bug. I have uploaded a fixed version that is awaiting review. Hopefully it will be approved quickly.

In the current version is a bug. It lacks the button in the status bar.

I really enjoy having this product on previous versions of Firefox. When is it going to be available for Firefox 7?
10-11-2011: When will it be available for Thunderbird 7.0.1?
The update for Firefox 7 has already been released.

Hi orev,
Firstly, thanks for a fantastic addon - I use firesizer A LOT!!
I've just updated to FF 7.0, and unfortunately it appears that firesizer is not compatible... I was hoping you could provide details (if any) about possible future 7.0 comparability?
Thanks.
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Love this, but could you please update to version 7.0 asap, please. I miss it already.
