Review summary

WindowSizer is praised for its simplicity, flexibility, and usefulness in customizing Firefox window sizes with saved presets and shortcut support, making it valuable for web developers and users needing precise window dimensions. Common issues include shortcut conflicts especially with Alt key codes, absence of window position controls, loss of presets on reinstall, and inability to adjust page zoom or font size. Despite these drawbacks, it remains a well-maintained, easy-to-use tool.
