How to Stop Firefox 3 From Crashing on MSN.com

Here is a quick and easy fix for an issue I have been running into with my newly upgraded Firefox 3. I noticed that every time I visited www.msn.com my Firefox 3 browser crashed. After some basic troubleshooting I realized that upgrading to the latest version of Microsoft’s Silverlight fixed the issue.

Click here to download the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight.

I hope that helps! Let me know if Firefox 3 still crashes on www.msn.com after installing the lastest version of Silverlight.

How to Fix Firefox Popup Windows that Cannot Resize

Posted on February 27th, 2008 in Computers, Web | No Comments »

More and more people are emailing me, annoyed at popup windows in Firefox that cannot resize and are the wrong dimension (this becomes an issue when you can’t see a damn thing!). It never really bothered me until today when I visited 2 websites where this issue occurred and I was forced to use IE7 to see the popup. So, here is the solution:

1. In Firefox, type about:config in the address bar.
2. Scroll down to dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable and double-click it (changes to bold and value changes to true.)
3. Done. Just restart Firefox and have endless ability to resize all popup windows. Wow.
