Stop Window Resize!

This is such an obnoxious thing to do. I was trying to do some shopping off of pricewatch and this stupid store always resized my window ARG. I HATE THAT How would you like it if I poped on to your desktop and rearranged all your stuff ?

To stop this obnoxious behavior you just need to go into your preferances and then to the left of the "Enable JavaScript" there is an "Advanced" button. In the advanced options disable the ability of java script to "move or resize windows".

Here is a article that pointed me to where to turn this off.
