I'm not sure I understand what you're saying.

Select the property, then right-click and choose reset to reset the
property to its default value. The property value will then be false. If
you want window to be resizable all the time, then you must disable the
window.open resizable feature ... which is true.

I agree with you that such way to force resizability of windows
permanently is far from being simple, obvious and well documented.

This document

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:window.open#Window_functionality_features

says "Mozilla and Firefox users can force new windows to be easily
resizable by setting
dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
to true in about:config"
