There is a bug in Firefox that disallows the resizing of a pop-up window. This can sometimes be an issue for us because several of our databases rely on pop-ups to show us results. There is a simple fix for this, but it does require some editing of a firefox file. This solution is only for faculty/staff systems…we will take care of this on any public access computers.
- Open Firefox.
- Type about:config in the address bar (where the URL is)
- Scroll down the list till you find the entry dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable.
- If the entry reads “false”, double-click the line. The value should change to true.
- Close your browser
That will change the setting to allow you to resize any window that might open in Firefox.
