<code>
<style type="text/css">
body,
html {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
#content {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
right: 0;
bottom: 0;
top: 0;
}
</style>

Nice extension, but I've experienced with one major problem. I don't know, does it related with extensions conflict or it happened after a browser update. My browser open links at 25% of full window height.

When I use this extension, the "xml" or "json" files appear in a small window (3 cm high!). Bug too annoying to use this extension.
