My Single Mom Life: Resize pop up boxes in Firefox.

Resize pop up boxes in Firefox.

I have been noticing some pop up comment form boxes on some sites, were really small, it caused this weird scrolling thing, in some cases, I couldn't even see the scroll bar.
I am using Firefox, so this only applies to FF pop up boxes.
Well this was bothering me, so I went on a hunt for the fix, and here it is.
When doing this fix, remove the quotes when copying/pasting the info.
In the address bar, type in "about:config". Then there is a filter at the top of the page. There, paste/type "dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable". You should only get one result. Double-click that result to change the value to "True".

Ta-da! Too easy. Now I can finally see all of the pop up comment boxes again.
Yayness!

"Yayness."

I am so totally gonna use that word.

Thank you so much for posting this. Just in the last day or so my pop up comment windows have been all messed up. I was getting sick of physically resizing them each time but was too lazy to look for a fix.

Catch 22.
