Then hit the Advanced... button. Did you de-select the pref for "Move or resize existing windows"?

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:

Maybe the Javascript coding for those popups just doesn't work in Firefox?
Purely a guess though, without having some examples to see.

No I dont think its related to script as it used to work a few days ago then stopped, nothing changed, no new addons nothing to make it weird and not just 1 website's javascript popups, the entire internets javascript popups dont resize

Do those pop-ups open in a new window or in a tab in the current window?

Do you have the current Firefox window maximized?
