Oh man, thank u so much! I’m a netbook user and mmy screen size is 8.9 inches. When browsers resize, they ONLY make it smaller. Which is really, really annoying when you’re already using a small pc! Thank you SO much for this easy solution :* Love u, whoever you are!

Thanks a lot!! Every time I click on a web page which resize my Firefox, I can’t believe the stupid moron who believe I don’t have a large enough screen to view his webpage. I never realize how easy it was to stop this SO THANKS A LOT!

The instructions for using about:config should be changed as the current release of Firefox (3.1) presents the options differently. Now, use the right-mouse-click context-sensitive pop up menu and choose “toggle”.

Ron: Additionally, this page at Mozillazine lists more ways to conserve memory usage in Firefox.

PARDON ME — OPEN WINDOWS TASK MANAGER and then in properties tab you can see memory use drop when minimized. SORT by Mem Usage so firefox is at or near top and watch it. Ron

If you have not done it yet reduce memory hogging when you minimize firefox. type in about:config in address bar THEN right click in the white field, CHOSES NEW then BOOLEAN Type in config.trim_on_minimize and click OK then highlight TRUE and click ok.
Restart the browser. When you have to the properties tab you can watch all excess memory be dumped when you minimize firefox. Ron
