 >Although I still don't know why the values from the browser console are
 different.
 They not different for me, if testing OS Windows. Using:
 {{{
     torbutton_log(5, window.outerHeight + " " +
                      window.innerHeight + " " +
                      window.mozInnerScreenY + " " +
                      window.screenY + " " +
                      diff_height + " " +
                      diff_width + " " +
                      delta_fix);
 }}}
 And difference of window.outerHeight and window.innerHeight never changes.
 Difference the same for every call, as from console.

 Another platforms have different sizes. Just found case where
 window.innerHeight is zero always.
 Kludge was planned for non OS Windows, but seems like covers only some
 specific unity gnome case and not all non OS Windows cases.
