Set this to true in about:config:

'dom.disable_window_move_resize'

This will disable javascript from resizing windows and should help you out so that it wont get resized too small.

Comment 2

[Bastard]

it was already set to true, and with both false and true i see no difference.

Comment 3

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

I can't find "Sign up via SSL" or at least, the find bar doesn't find it.
Maybe changing the value of the pref dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable will work?

When I tried I guessed it was "(en servidor seguro SSL)" located under the huge button in the top left of the screen.

[Gérard Talbot]

<a style="font-size:11px;" href="javascript:void(null)" onClick="return gt__md();">(en servidor seguro SSL)</a>

function gt__sp(){
 gt__w=window.open(gt__rsip,'GT__SIP',gt__ws);
 if ((gt__w != null)&&(!gt__isie||(gt__bma >= 5))) gt__w.focus();
}

gt__ws="status=1,location=0,scrollbars=1,resizeable=yes,width=400,height="+gt__ph;

As you can see, it is written "resizeable" and not "resizable" so that's why the window is not resizable!

Reporter, if you can reach the webmaster of that website, just tell him to change resizeable to resizable in that gt__ws variable assignment/definition. 

-------

Also, setting location=0 will not be honored starting with Firefox 3.

Bug 337344: Change default dom.disable_window_open_feature.location to true

Bug 177838: Make all popup windows resizable, ignoring resizable=no
is FIXED. So, this bug should not occur, should not happen in Firefox 3 (rv:1.9b3).

Kurt, the about:config property he should be looking for is

dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable

This bug (and the 2 mistakes involving it) proves overwhelmingly very well how important bug 177838 and what I've been saying from the beginning:

{
Most web authors do not even know that they have to explicitly declare
windowFeatures that are turn on when the windowFeatures string list is not
empty.  A missing "resizable=yes" becomes an implicit "resizable=no" in such
cases
}

An explicit "resizeable=yes" becomes in reality an implicit "resizable=no".

Well than you all. I have contacted already tech department of the webpage. And second, setting dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable to True now makes the pop-up resizable. 

There should be such an option in Options -> Content -> Advanced or in some place.
I am not sure but I think that in firefox 1.5 there were more advanced options?

This problems occurs too when you click to see comments in blogspot and comments are opened in a new windows.

No, I disagree and explained so in bug 177838 (see comment 4).

Firefox 1.5 is done, is over and no longer maintained. Next month, Firefox 3 will be out...

Same problem? Can you contact the webmaster?

I think blogspot made that intentionally:

onclick='javascript:window.open(this.href, "bloggerPopup", "toolbar=0,location=0,statusbar=1,menubar=0,scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=450"); 

but i override all that **** setting this in about:config

user_pref("dom.disable_window_move_resize", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.close", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.directories", true);
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.personalbar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.scrollbars", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.status", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.titlebar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar", true);
user_pref("dom.disable_window_status_change", true);

And WORKS!
