Your Favorite Firefox Extentions

[ejda]

I'm the type of user who prefers maximum user space so I just hate all those space consuming toolbars and buttons. Now, I have found my solution to build a perfect firefox interface. The recipe is as follows!

Frist install the tiny menu extension. It gathers all the menu items under ONE menu button. So it gives you plenty of space on the menu bar.

Second, install one of the compact themes like micro firefox. It actually looks much better than its preview, at least on my linux.

Finally, right click on a toolbar and select "Customize" then move all the necessary buttons and etc. to the free space on the menu bar. Then hide the navigation and bookmarks toolbar.

At the end, you will have all the useful inferface items ready in one single bar (the menu bar!!). You will still have access to less commonly used items with one or two extra clicks which is fine.

Does anyone know of an extension that will prevent a website from resizing the window for you? I HATE when that happens. I keep my windows a certain size for a reason, so some webpage changing it really irks me.

Oh my god I hope someone knows of one because I absolutely despise that as well.

I imagine its is javascript or something. I can't believe browsers don't give you a way to selectively turn off specific types of behavior like that.

I don't have confirmation of this working, but I found a checkbox that gives me hope...

Tools - Options brings up the options window. The "Content" tab gives you the option to allow java and there is an "Advanced..." button that brings up several options for what you will allow scripts to do, to include "Move or resize existing windows". This box was checked for me, and I unchecked it. I'm hoping that solves my problem, but I don't have it often and can't remember where I was surfing last I had it, so I can't test the feature.
