If 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.
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.

OMG! Thank you sooooo much!!!
>Under options on the Toolbar, select the Content Tab.
There are no options in my toolbar so I can’t find a content tab – I am using Firefox 2
Goto Tools, then Options.
Wow, I didn’t even know this could be solved. Thanks man, you saved me from ranting while Stumbling around.
From the comments I see that your post was very helpful to us stumble upon users. I sure wish I could read it, black and dark gray on black, I just gave up.
Great tip, but I’d suggest stumblers use the NoScript addon for Firefox. It’s pretty dangerous what a site could do to your machine running javascript unchecked. If it can resize your window, imagine what else could be done.
Why would anyone not have this disabled in the first place, StumbleUpon or not?
It’s in the regular options menu, not somewhere tucked away or only accessible through the address bar.
Hmmm never have that problem and I stumble all the time. Maybe it is because I am running Firefox on a Mac and its version is programmed to prevent that.
Had everything in that box unchecked since I started using FireFox. I can’t stand people that have websites that resize your windows. Great tip!
