SQT: Resizing Popups
May 3rd, 2008 · by David Bradley
Popups are a pain in the posterior, especially the legitimate ones, such as the Blogspot comment form, that will not let you resize them.
Quick solution if you’re using Firefox. Open the about:config page, filter on the phrase “dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable” (no quotes) and if it reads “false”, double click it to make it toggle to true.
Next time you get a popup, you will be able to drag its corner to resize it.

I need this info! I think I am a little slow though, where do I find the about:config page? I looked under help and the about, then under tools and can’t find it.
Thank You!

You are a legend! This was such a pain for me. I had to switch to IE god knows how many times especially at work when I deal with plenty of popups.

Peggie just type
about:config
in your browser address bar (where you normally type web addresses) and hit Go/Return key/Enter key and it will fire up.
