    <p>Here's some related information that may help users reading this post.</p> <p>Firefox has been pressured to remove support for window.resizeTo, and it appears for a short while did. See <a href="http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window#JavaScript_no_longer_allowed_to_resize_windows" rel="nofollow">http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resizing_oversize_window#JavaScript_no_longer_allowed_to_resize_windows</a></p> <p>You can disable window resizing in Firefox: <a href="http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/disable-web-site-window-resizing-in-firefox/">http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/internet/firefox/disable-web-site-window-resizing-in-firefox/</a></p> <p>If you've enabled JavaScript window resizing and it's still not working, then you probably have Firebug installed. Disable Firebug and restart Firefox, and window.resizeTo will function again. See here: <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565541#c47" rel="nofollow">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=565541#c47</a></p> <p>As for whether window resizing should occur, I can't think of many cases, but I know of one so I'll share it. I code a help window that has an optional navigation pane. I have a button that allows users to show/hide the navigation pane. When they show it, I resize the window for them to allow space for the navigation pane. In this case it's user initiated, so it doesn't annoy users. However, disabling resizeTo would make that impossible and thus diminish the user experience (in this case). What it boils down to in most cases is that most tools can be used for good or bad. The more considerate people are, the less problem there is with cool tools.</p>
