FAQ Topic - How do I modify the current browser window?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

In a default security environment you are very limited in how much
you can modify the current browser window. You can use
` window.resizeTo ` or ` window.moveTo ` to resize or move a
window respectively, but that is it. Normally you can only
suggest chrome changes in a ` window.open `.
