I'm am really sick of websites that feel the need to resize my browser window when I load them. I can understand a size on a popup when it is created, but don't resize my window when I load you page from somewhere else.
This is really annoying when browsing with tabs in firefox. You open up a link in a new tab, and firefox opens it up, but doesn't give it focus. Then all of a sudden your browser window is resizing because that new tab wanted to be maximized, or 100000x345345 pixels big, or a small 10x10 square.
As an aside, if you don't use tabbed browsing, I highly recommend it. If you are lucky enough to have a 3 button mouse (most with scroll wheels do), just click on a link with the middle button in firefox.
I wonder if there is a setting in ff to stop that from happening, or at least a greasemonkey script...
