Comment:

 Firefox 3.6?  That's ''crazy ''(also end-of-life'd
 [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_3.6 a month ago])''.''  Anyway...

 This is partially a duplicate of #4205.  But there's also the issue of why
 that window is being rendered short despite the XUL, which says it should
 be [https://gitweb.torproject.org/https-
 everywhere.git/blob/dd01180f4d08a313ff9f3db9b25348b45a11ac94:/src/chrome/content/preferences.xul#l17
 600 pixels high].  That sounds like a weird recurrence of #5197, or
 perhaps like our fix for #5197 never worked on ancient versions of Firefox
 on Windows.

 Does 2.0.5 work for you?  If so, please consider either running that, or
 upgrading to a modern Firefox ;).  These platform-dependent XUL bugs are a
 serious pain, and seem to be strangely hard to fix without breaking other
 things.
