I updated to firefox 7.0 and I noticed that my javascript bookmarks, which I use to test different resolutions when designing a new web-page, do not work anymore. In other words, nothing happens when I type javascript:self.resizeTo(1024,768); to the address bar. In safari and chrome the scripts work like a charm. As a designer I need to test my layouts in different resolutions and would like to use firefox to do that.

This is probably related to this change in FF7:
