By clicking on a link my code uses window.open which should open the response in child window. I am not specifying any height and width(as per requirement). In firefox alone, the window takes up the properties of child window and opens with same size as of parent window. Is there a way to restrict Firefox from inheriting the properties of parent window?

Hi prajulakc, Thank you for your question. Currently the active window selected when you create a new window that new window will take the active window's screensize. You can add a preference: see also question/754273
