Stop Javascript from disabling window resizing

Firefox February 19th, 2008

One of the all time most irritating Javascript functions has to be the ‘resizable = 0‘ property that’s used within the ‘window.open()‘ function. This often results in content that doesn’t quite fit the windows that pop up – grrr.

Anyway, Firefox has an option that disables some window resizing, but not most of it – this has never worked for me. So the way to make all windows resizable is as follows:

  • Enter about:config into the Firefox location bar
  • Enter into the Filter bar dom.disable
  • Find the property dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
  • Double click it so that the value is changed to true

Hoorah! No more annoying popups where you can’t see all of the content!

    Can this be done through Javascript function instead of manual approach
