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

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.

    just get the noscript plugin and you can allow/disallow individual sites that are allowed to run Javascript.

    It’s better than having to tweak the global settings all the time.

    People, don’t you ever take a look at the options if there would be anything useful in there? Rule #1: If you think something is annoying, chances are someone else thought that too and fixed it.

  6. MoreMerchant says:

    Well looking at options or not, I am glad we could provide something that people needed.

  7. Steve says:

    Thanks! Now, how do I keep all the graphics in FF2 from automatically enlarging about 25% so that they cover the adjoining text???

  8. huh says:
