Browser size hijacking

Well, unless things have changed, its an actual preference in Firefox for me. (Mind you, I’m using an older version)

So… tools->options, then web features, and theres an “advanced” button next to the enable javascript checkbox. In the popup that button spawns theres a list of checkboxes and one of the checkboxes is for “move/resize windows”. Uncheck. smile.

Okay, I need to be more specific.

Pop-up windows should be allowed to resize. Windows I open should not.

Well, javascript windows that are opened at a given size will still work - they just can’t change size.

I only know of a few sites that are dynamically sizing javascript popups after they load - and I sure wish they’d quit it.

The very first option in the Enable JavaScript Advanced dialog on the Content tab of FF 1.5.x Options specifies if JS should be able to resize existing windows. Isn’t that what you want?

For those using Firefox on Mac OS X, you’d check in Preferences -> Content

Next to the Enable JavaScript checkbox, click the Advanced … button. In the sheet that drops down, uncheck “Allow scripts to Move or resize existing windows”

try this in the address bar type ‘about:config’ in the filter type ‘resiz’ (note no e)

try changeing the values of dom.disablewindowmoveresize dom.disablewindowopenfeature.resizable

I dont know if this will help, dont know a page i can test it on.

Chris was right. Change dom.disablewindowopenfeature.resizable to true

nice!! Changing dom.disablewindowopenfeature.resizable to true worked!!!

Great find!

Thanks
