Keep Firefox from Auto-Resizing

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed so that you never miss a beat. Thanks for visiting!

Isn’t it annoying when websites resize your browser window?  I think it is.  If you do too, and you use Firefox, then I can tell you a way to prevent that.  All you have to do is follow these 4 simple steps, and sites won’t be able to resize your Firefox window anymore.

Step 1: Click Edit in the toolbar, then click Preferences.

Step 2: Click on the Content tab.

Step 3: Click on the Advanced button, which is across from the Enable Javascript checkbox.

Step 4: Uncheck Move or Resize Existing Windows.

View Full Screen Pictures in Firefox

PicLens allows you to view pictures full screen inside of Firefox. It supports picutres from Flickr, Facebook, Google Images, Yahoo Images, and more. It also allows you to play a slideshow of search result images. Overall I think it’s pretty nifty. The only drawback I see is that it’s for Windows XP or Vista only. So it shows no love for Ubuntu :(. Oh well, this is a treat for you Windows users, then.
