Stumble and Firefox … tired of resizing windows? Here is the Fix

December 17, 2007 By

Stumble-tipsIf you Stumble a lot like I do you are probably really tired of all the sites that resize the window. It was driving my freaking crazy until I took about 5 minutes into searching for the answer.

So all you Firefox Stumblers here is the quick fix.
Firefox-Maxthon-IE
1. Under options on the Toolbar, select the Content Tab.
2. Click the advanced button next to Enable Javascript in the top box.
3. Uncheck the ‘Move or resize existing windows’ box.

There you have it. now your windows won’t automatically resize and drive you to the brink of slitting your wrists. With this Firefox / Stumble request I hope to save so many people from ending it all.

    Thanks for the tip. You’re right, that had been annoying me. For future reference, for people using Firefox on Linux, the “options” dialog is Edit->Preferences.

    THANK YOU!
    Now I can easily navigate away from those damn shock sites.
    You have saved my sanity, I think :)

    Long ago, I disabled most of the javascript functions that affect browser windows. I don’t like it when some idiot web designer tries messing with MY browser window.

    I wonder if this will keep it from just spontaneously closing for no apparent reason. Or if anyone else has this problem.

    Hi all,

    I have designed a web page using table, but when window is resized the contents of the page are disturbing.

    Kindly help me.

    Thanks in advance
