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

1. Type About:config in your Firefox Browser and hit enter
2. Scroll Down until you find the line that says
1. dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
3. Click on that line until the setting changes from False to True

You are done!
