"firefox --help" lists the "height" and "width" command line options,
which haven't worked in a decade and seem unlikely to work in the future
(see bug #20573). These options should be removed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run "firefox --help"
Actual Results:  
"height" and "width" command line options are listed

Expected Results:  
These options should not be listed, and if given should be rejected

Don't list -height and -width options in the help since they aren't
working anyway.

Why don't they work? Is there a bug filed (bug 20573 is unrelated as far
as I can tell)? Looking at
http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/browser/components/nsBrowserContentHandler.js&rev=1.49&mark=626-632#621
I don't see offhand why they wouldn't.

I don't know why it doesn't work, but it doesn't and seeing the age of
bug 50201 apparently haven't at least since 2000. I just retested it
both in gnome and kde, they have no effect whatsoever.

In thunderbird i get "Warning: unrecognized command line flag -height".

OK. I guess these should be handled in app-specific handlers anyways
(and therefore added to their nsICommandLineHandler's helpInfo once they
work there). Can you file bugs on Firefox and Thunderbird on fixing
these? Bug 50201 should probably be turned into a SeaMonkey bug.
