that *does* use sizeToContent(). Does sizeToContent() work only in certain cases? Mark Finkle in IRC recommended I try:

Recently sizeToContent was broken:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371508
This was fixed and made 3.0b5.
Maybe it wasn't fully fixed after all?!
(Assuming that this problem affects 3.0b+?)

I guess, but probably some styles / bindings / overlays are applied to
content after you call sizeToContent() function. This function resize
window once, but not make it automatically resize to modified content.

This will assure sizeToContent(); will be called just after window has
been constructed, with all styles, bindings and overlays.

If you create window with dynamic content, you may consider using
setInterval() with sizeToContent(), to make window dynamically adapt to
content. Even better is using some more sophisticated function to
animate size changes, and fade-out new content when window reaches new size.
I do something similar in my extension.
