bin/mozilla calls mozilla/mozilla which sets up the environment for
mozilla/mozilla-bin & eventually executes mozilla/mozilla-bin.

When you run "mozilla -help", note the first line...

  Usage: ./mozilla-bin [ options ... ] [URL]


So it's mozilla/mozilla-bin which will take care of the options of
height & width.  If the specified options are ignored, then it is time
to search the bugs database for mozilla (or file a bug yourself) ...

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/


...supplying "width height option" as the search term, yields ...

  -width and -height options ignored:
