When you go to http://www.folders-r-us.org/full_technic.htm, there are a few links you can click and a new window comes up. I can't read the whole article because the texts are cut off at the right side. I can't resize the window either. Please fix this problem. Thank you.

works for me in 3.0A8, although I can't find the original bug-report where this was fixed

I am having the same problem, I can ever reproduce it on the example page given, however it's not ALWAYS reproducible. It only happens if the window the pop-up was generated from was maximized. Presumably because pop-ups copy their parents properties by default.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
