Resize Firefox with a Bookmarklet

Resize-Me.png
You can quickly change the size of the Firefox window by clicking a bookmarklet. Reader Domen writes in and explains how to set up the bookmarklet, which is perfect for users with extra screen estate. Create an empty bookmark in your Bookmarks Toolbar and enter the following as the location:

javascript:window.resizeTo(1280,1050);

Substitute 1280 and 1050 with values appropriate for your monitor size. Clicking the bookmark will instantly resize your window. You will need to make sure JavaScript is enabled in the Firefox preferences. Thanks, Domen!

    The Web Developer toolbar has this functionality built in. It’s quite handy for seeing what things will display when building a new site.

    Hmm, looks like my original comment got eaten, trying again!
    Thanks for your comment, that’s a handy one to know.
