Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; tr; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3

Open http://www.nobrain.dk/ and you will see what I mean. It is annoying. First the page resizes itself to a like 300x300 then moves itself from right-top to left-top, then from left-top to left-bottom and so on... Since it is very fast you cannot press to close window, even if you press, Surprise!!! Message, again one message and so on... Even, I'm not talking about the video.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open http://www.nobrain.dk
2. try to close
3. try to close
4. try to close
5. try to explain why you was waching that video to your friends/family


Expected Results:  
Firefox should not act like that. It should not move around, please.

Goto Tools->Options->Content. Click on the Advanced button on the right of the javascript checkbox.

Is allow scripts to move or resize existing windows checked? If so uncheck it.

Does this fix your problem?

No. You cannot catch the Tools menu. And in case you press close-tab button Tools becomes inactive.

Then, Firefox should come with unchecked resize-window. I don't think that Firefox users are aware of that setting.

There is a bug for that already
