(Semi OT) Weird FireFox behavior
|
|
|
| Does anyone else have trouble with FireFox intermittently resizing
it's window to almost 0 size? This happens to me every several
weeks, at which point I have the choice between maximizing the window
or not being able to see anything at all - very frustrating! I find
that the next time I start it up, it opens in a small but not
infinitesimal window which I can then resize to my normal preference.
Just want to know if I'm alone or other people experience this.

Yea, I've seen it maybe 2-3. Kinda annoying when it happens, mainly
because that one little window can be hard to find :-).

It only happens to me if a site I went to uses JavaScript to do it. Oh
thank you, ... so much Ò¿Ó
There is a mozilla news server: news.mozilla.org and there you'll find a
support group for Firefox - mozilla.support.firefox.

I realize that. I was asking a friendly question of people I know,
and labeled it as "Semi OT." It was asked in the spirit of "am I the
only person experiencing this weirdness?" not "HELP, WHAT DO I
DO???!!!"

I think the regs realised that and hence there has been no other comment.
And who the hell else matter, eh?! lol
I sometimes have it where the window resizes so it just effectively shows
the chrome (or sometimes less than the chrome), but it doesnt happen often.
I assumed it was an unruly extension, but I don't have an suggestions as to
which..

Sorry. ... I thought "anyone" meant anyone.
My point is that I read that newsgroup and I've never seen nor heard of
this before. I'd be interested to hear what the support gurus there have
to say.
Btw, I'm still using Firefox 1.0.7, as I got sick of the Firefox
update/extension hassles. Could this only be happening in Firefox 1.5?
