Create a Mac-friendly Firefox window resize bookmark
Authored by: unforeseen:X11 on Dec 02, '08 04:27:11PM

Seriously, who wants to run Browser Windows fullscreen on screens above 1200 pixels width? Makes no sense.

Create a Mac-friendly Firefox window resize bookmark

Who wants to run Browser Windows fullscreen? Even worse, I often find it hard to convince professional web designers that the screen size as reported by Google Analytics*censored*suis has nothing to do with the size of the window people use. "Only 8% percent of visitors [mainly from developing countries for that site] uses 800x600 screens" -- hoho, this says nothing about the preferred size for those who have better screens!

I've always hated sites that were built for exactly 800 or 1024 pixels wide, implying one should indeed use "maximize window" on Windows, to gain a few extra pixels as a result of hiding the window borders, and thus to avoid the horizontal scrollbar.

Likewise, I strongly dislike the new Firefox zoom function, which no longer zooms text but zooms the whole window (including margins, images, and so on). I really think that the old behavior, which only increased the font size, was better. Too bad...

As for this hint: I doubt https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232919 will ever be implemented :-(
