After some research, I found that in Firefox you can override this behavior by changing one of the many user preferences.
To do this
- Type about:config in the location bar and press enter
- Search for the "dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable" entry
- Change the boolean value from false to true
Setting this to true will prevent a window from disabling the resize feature.
Elijah,
ReplyDeleteExcellent suggestion.
This pop up window limitation has been bugging me for some time. Your solution works!!
Thank you so much.

Thanx a million! I've been bothered with this for quite some time, and just about every other popup is not sized properly.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't bother to rumble through about:config myself - lazy ass I am, but just a couple of minutes ago I encountered a popup-image-gallery (of a MP3 player I want to buy) which was impossible to view, and I needed to se the damn pics! Thanks again.
This is very useful, thanks! I just wish they'd fix Firefox so the popups come out the right size in the first place! I've never experienced this on Internet Explorer and I hate the fact that it does something better than my beloved Firefox!
ReplyDeleteI found this page with Google after I discovered (today) that a pop-up of 290px by 340px on my website is now "popping up" 322 by 380. What's going on?
ReplyDeletedid a search on google for "how to resize pop up windows in firefox" - found your suggestion and it solved the problem. I wish I would have googled it long before now it would have saved much frustration.. super thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you, found you through a Google search. I love Firefox, but I also love pop-up Blogger comment windows. Now the frustration is gone! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks x millions for the solution for this annoying problem!
ReplyDeleteWorked like a charm :-D

Is this pop up fix for Windows only?? What can Mac OS X users do??
ReplyDeleteI am able to resize the pop-up windows-- the issue I have is the the popup window does not display all of the content-- it cuts off whatever is at the bottom-- is there a way to fix this? Not to be pesky, but it is beginning to get annoying that I have to resize the windows all the time! We use SchoolCenter for our school's webpages, and each function (like adding an image, editing text boxes, etc.) opens in a new pop-up window, so I am constantly resizing!
ReplyDeleteThanks to the instructions, This was driving me crazy.
