Whenever I am using a computer other than my own to browse the internet this happens. I am just quietly surfing the internet, not bothering anyone, when suddenly after I click the stumbleupon button my browser changes shape! Do not, under ANY circumstances, resize my browser window. I do not want it made wider so I can see more ads for "a good time". I do not want it thinner to fit whatever obscure video player you decide to use. I do not want it resized to match the size of your dumb picture that happens to be 180x300.

Thank you that is all.

Agreed, I hate sites that auto resize windows. I specifically avoid traffic to those sites afterwards

Any designer who forces a window size is a poor designer.

Is Side boob hour coming up?

A better question would be why you'd be using IE instead of Firefox.

I did at home. When I am at school or work or a friend's computer I cant dl FF.

Both Opera and Firefox can be run from a USB drive. Both Opera and Firefox can disable window resizing.
