Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

Going to pages like http://www.computerandvideogames.com always displays the
resizable border of the frames they use, despite HTML code such as
frameborder="NO" and border="0" in the <frameset> tag. The same problem occurs
on all sites which carry frames.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a site with frames, such as http://www.computerandvideogames.com
2. The frame borders will appear for all the frames used on the webpage

Actual Results:  
A resizable frame border appears around every frame that is used.

Expected Results:  
The frames should not be resizable, and instead should be inivisible.

I am using the BlueMonkey theme, but it also occurs in the other themes I have.

Under about:config, what is your setting for layout.frames.force_resizability?

Comment 2

[Matt Bailey]

It was set to true. By changing the value to false it sorted the problem.
However,  I did not set it up like that myself - either it is there by default,
or a theme/plug-in has altered the value. Thanks anyway.

Re-resolving

[Matt Bailey]

It occured again by default when I installed 0.6.1, so I'm re-opening the bug.

Comment 6

layout.frames.force_resizability=false has always been the default since the
early phoenix/firebird days. Did you use a fresh profile, when updating to 0.6.1
as detailed in the release notes?

Perhaps some extensions changed this. I just installed a clean 2003-09-11 build
with a fresh profile and I'm not seeing this on WinXP. Marking WFM again.
