Settings to Allow Resizing Pop up Windows in Firefox

I love Firefox as a browser. It’s one of the best free tools that I use. For no apparent reason however it recently picked up a glitch. Whenever I had a pop-up window that would display, it would only be about 100 pixels wide and I couldn’t resize it. I noticed this whenever I would leave a comment on some blogs that require pop-ups, or when I was viewing a site that provided a pop up of a larger image of a product for example when I was looking at some furniture products at Century furniture , whenever I attempt a look at a bigger image of our products Firefox would have a bit of a fit and would only show me a portion of the image.
So I did some hunting online I found a great instructional video on how to update one little setting and Firefox is enabled me to resize pop-ups to my hearts content.
Now sometimes I need to see a video and sometimes I just need a quick here’s the three steps on how to fix things type of instructional. The video was a little bit of overkill for me, but if you prefer videos I deftly recommend it. If you just want the short few steps on how to fix this, keep reading . . .
Steps

- Scroll Down until you find the line that says

You are done!
