Solution 1:

Try adding a try catch around the startup code

try
{ 
    window.resizeTo(500, 300); 
} catch(e) { }

Alternatively try setTimeout:-

setTimeout(function() {
    window.resizeTo(500, 300);
}, 100);

Solution 2:

Just a quick word for anyone who passes here I've run into a similar problem (mine is when the document is already loaded) and it is due to the browser not being ready to perform the resize/move actions whether it is due to not finishing loading or (like in my case) when it is still handling a previous resize request.

Solution 3:

With both delay and try-catch:

setTimeout(function() {
    try { 
        window.resizeTo(500, 300); 
    } 
    catch(e) { }
}, 100);
