Did the letterboxing dimensions change with FF 133.0?

It certainly appears they have, with the left and right padding growing wider. In fact, they both look about twice the size of the top and bottom padding, whereas before I remember them as being about equal. The change was immediately apparent with my home page!

Any particular reason for this?

Following up: I see that currently my privacy.window.maxInnerHeight = 900 and privacy.window.maxInnerWidth = 1400. What they were before FF 133.0 I couldn't say, except as noted above, the width and height seemed equal.

In that my screen resolution is less than the dimensions cited above, I doubt those setting have anything to do with the problem -- which remains after the 133.0.3 release.

Attached is a screenshot showing the magnitude of the problem. As I failed to mention originally, this is in fullscreen mode.

This is for privacy.resistFingerprinting?

The old values were 1000 and 1000 (according to the code diff for bug 1556002). I didn't see an explanation for changing these dimensions, except that the sizing was standardized in some way.

(A square aspect ratio doesn't correspond to any normal display, so I can't understand why it was ever set to 1000 x 1000 if you don't want to stand out as a unique user.)

Yes.

"The old values were 1000 and 1000 (according to the code diff for bug 1556002). I didn't see an explanation for changing these dimensions, except that the sizing was standardized in some way."

In that any hard-coded values don't seem to take into account monitor resolution, I fail to see the purpose of them in the first place.

"(A square aspect ratio doesn't correspond to any normal display, so I can't understand why it was ever set to 1000 x 1000 if you don't want to stand out as a unique user.)"

Not that my display resolution (height) is even capable of 1000 x 1000. However, on the theory that some weird interaction was causing the narrower letterboxing, I just adjusted my settings to 1000 x 1000 -- with no effect! I suspect some other change is behind this.

I don't use RFP but my understanding is that it tries to make you blend into the crowd a bit more by standardizing certain measurements that might otherwise put you in a smaller group. Maybe you can get more info on the changes over on r/Firefox: https://www.reddit.com/r/FirefoxCSS/
