255712 - Always allow window resizing option for Advanced Javascript Option

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 101509

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

Some sites use javascript to disable the ability to resize a pop-up window.  An
option in the Advanced Javascript Options dialog to prevent pages from doing
this would be desirable.  Some sites implement their window sizes poorly and
content is obscured by the fixed size window.

Allow Scripts to: "Disable window resizing" is probably a suitable option name,
I guess. 

This page <http://www.whitestripes.com/discs/elephant.html> uses the technique.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open <http://www.whitestripes.com/discs/elephant.html>
2. Click on a thumbnail -- window should pop up.
3. Try to resize pop-up window.

Actual Results:  
I can't resize the window.

Expected Results:  
If requested option existed and was turned on, I would be able to resize the pop
up window.

This set of prevs in user.js

user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.location", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.minimizable", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars", true);

makes sure you can still do anything to windows that pop up

Those are cool -- I guess what I'm requesting is a GUI implementation of those
options, particularly .resizable :)  Cheers though, Peter :)
