d:

It meant that there is no inherent anonymity reason to start TBB in
partial screen mode. The reason we do that now is that it is the only
way we currently can sort of guarantee that the window dimensions
reported back to a website are properly rounded. Bug 7256 tracks one
idea that would cover maximized windows as well.
