I have Win10 Pro but not Office 2016. (I have an old version of Office 2007 I keep around for Publisher.) I haven't seen the window resize issue.

(I don't have the Sigil issue either.)

Grabbing a resize handle in that situation is a major PITA for me. Other times the window is about a ¼ of the size in which i left it, from which I have difficulty getting it to stretch full height - I have to move it down to the bottom edge and then stretch it upwards -- often several times over to get it to 'stick'
IS this specific to Office 2016?

And every time I update calibre portable some of its modal dialogue windows are almost as big as my 24" 2560x1440 monitor
I have an instance of Calibre Portable on the thumb drive, but use a locally installed version of Calibre on the desktop and don't see that problem.

I'm using built-in Intel HD2000 graphics driving a 23" 1920x1080 monitor. What video card and driver do you use?

I've also found Firefox Quaintum for Windows doesn't put its hand up as a candidate PDF handler. Maybe that'll get fixed when Firefox gets even more Blinking Chromified
What do you mean by PDF handler? Firefox still lets you specify external applications to open file types. I use SumatraPDF, which also handles Mobi and ePub files. Works fine.

I don't want to open PDFs in the browser. I went through an exercise back in the FF 4.x days with that. It would default to loading Adobe Acrobat as a plug-in to view PDFs, but the Adobe process tended to remain in memory after Firefox was exited. The fix for that was a setting in Adobe, not FF.
