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!
