With Thunderbird 60.2.1 and Ubuntu 18.04 I'm seeing the Preferences window open at a size of 698x594 so I'm treating this as being fixed. If anyone see any different then this bug report can be re-opened but the issue should also be reported to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/.

To make the settings window any larger than 768 (or not naturally re-size to fit the screen) is a UX flaw.
