In all websites that have links that open a new window or a control-less window (no address bar etc..) all of them open full window no matter how many times I resize it. I have a work Web page that it has a button to add new users and when I click it it always open a full window and would be better to open in a small window since it's a small bit of information. The is a internet accessible web page not an intranet page. Any help greatly appreciated. This only started happening in the version 60s and up.

See if this helps;

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Prevent_websites_from_disabling_new_window_features

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter dom.disable_window From this list, set everything to True.

The Dom.disable_window settings takes away the websites ability to set up new windows in a way that takes away user controls. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dom.disable_window_open_feature.status

Try to rename/remove xulstore.json and if present delete localstore.rdf in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed.

You can use the button on the "Help -> Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
