Firefox Tip: Don’t Let Websites Resize Your Browser Window
Have a favorite website that still thinks its 1999? Resizes your browser window into a small awkward space? It can be annoying. You have that big display, and you should be able to use it. Thankfully you can prevent this. Just go into Tools-> Options and select the “Content” tab. Then click on the “Advanced” button across from “Enable JavaScript”. Uncheck the “Move or resize existing windows” checkbox. Now you don’t have to deal with this.

Thanks for the tip Robert — and a note for Mac users: go to the Firefox menu -> Preferences, rather than Tools->Options.

This is excellent, you’re right I keep running into many sites that resize huge and then show nearly no content or resize tiny and then I can’t tab back to my email.
