Stop browser resizing in Firefox

Now and then I’ll still run across a website that insists on resizing my browser for me.  Well, no thanks Mr. Self-Proclaimed-Web-so-called-master.  Well I came across this great tip for Firefox users on how to disable browser resizing.

  1. In the address bar, type: about:config
    [you may wish to do this in a seperate tab]

  2. Scroll down to the attribute labeled: dom.disable_window_move_resize and simply double-click on that attribute to switch it to “TRUE”.  I believe the default attribute is false.  You may also right-click on the item and select “Toggle”.  It will appear bold when you have user-specific settings that differ from the default settings
  3. Restart Firefox and you’ll be in control of your browser’s dimensions and size.
