Some webpages resize the window but when the window opens in a new tab, the entire firefox browser is resized. How do I stop this from happening?

This usually happens when the window is resized in order to fit the smaller content/intention for a webpage.

I would like Firefox to ignore the window resizing (down sizing) commands when opening a window in a new tab and just display the window in full size.

Go into Tools > Options > Content and next to where it says Enable JavaScript, click Advanced...' and then untick Move or resize existing windows.

This is the only way to do it. I believe there is a bug filed to prevent all sites (by default) from resizing the window if there are more tabs open, but I don't think it has been fixed.

This option was already unchecked in my browser but I still have the problem.

Automatic window resizing is particularly annoying when reading multi page articles online. I like to resize the window to get rid of the side banners and increase font size on my high resolution laptop screen, but every time I go to the next page the window resizes right back to the small original fonts and I need to type CTRL+ multiple times to fix it again.

Internet Explorer 9 does not have this problem, it preserves the web page magnification between tabs or when tabs are reloaded with new content. Firefox misses the mark on this.
