Hi... Has anyone else experieced problems with Firefox not sizing popup windows correctly using the MM_openBrWindow javascript function?

-It seems to obey the height attribute, but it ignores the width... which results in a popup that is too skinny for the desired content.

-I've test firefox on other computers and the popups work just fine on those machines... which leads me to believe...

-Perhaps I has some kind of plug-in or something that has altered a key config setting. It's still very wierd... why it would pay attention to height, but not width.

Anybody else seen this?

I never serve content in a second tab/window or a popup (it makes control for the user divided and that's not desirable). Still usually height is the problem and width works. So I'd recommend simply copying your width code and pasting it over the height code and simply replacing the height word width he width word...not the best way to put it though it should be an easy fix I'd imagine?

Yes and would be interested to know how to fix it from user POV

A site I've built uses a CMS which has a popup appears when you want to insert a link or image, (from plug-in WYSIWYG input area) that popup is never wide enough to see the full link or link text, it's not insurmountable for me and none of the users have complained yet (so I presume they use IE) but if an answer comes along I'd be grateful so I'm ready when they are ;)
