Here is a simple tutorial that will show you how to unlock the ability to open all files in a favorites folder with Internet Explorer 7.
Earlier today I spent a great deal of time trying to find any resources or tutorials that showed how this was done and no one seems to have covered it thoroughly. Once I finally figured it out, I documented the process with this quick video tutorial.
For those of you that may be curious as to why I wanted to even contemplate something in the Internet Explorer 7 browser, the reason is due to one of my favorite software programs, MindManager Pro 7. I have a love somewhat hate the slow development relationship with Mindmanager. Today, Mindmanager has a pretty good tool for organizing internet content, but it only works with Internet Explorer and not Firefox my browser of choicer nor Opera my browser backup of choice. So I am stuck using IE7, an inferior tool, but this tutorial does help it simulate some normal functionality found in Firefox. Hopefully my small contribution to the digital signage across the internet will save you some time if you get stuck looking for the same ability to open all favorites in tabs.

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
- Type About:config in your Firefox Browser and hit enter
- Scroll Down until you find the line that says
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
- Click on that line until the setting changes from False to True
You are done!
Need a couple screenshot references?
Here’s what you type and how it looks
Here’s the section that you click to turn it from false to true
