WebExtensions BrowserAction popup has fixed height in Firefox

The extension source code is at https://github.com/n8chz/prostetnic-chrome

It works on both Chromium and Firefox, but on Firefox the popup has fixed dimensions, so instead of having the popup grow as the script adds content to the popup, a vertical scrollbar appears, allowing me to view the content, but it's a bit of a speed bump that I'd be happier without. Apparently auto-resizing is a built-in feature of BrowserAction popups in Chrome.

The BrowserAction is declared in manifest.json as follows:

"browser_action": {
 "default_icon": {
  "19": "search19.png",
  "38": "search.png"
 },
 "default_title": "Search for words in previous highlights",
 "default_popup": "popup.html"
},

Are there perhaps any hidden instantiation options other than the ones in the documentation?

One thing that helps (but produces a different effect from in Chrome) is adding style="height: 600px" to the popup's <html> element. Anything 601px or larger results in a popup with a vertical scrollbar.
