the browser keeps shrinking its window to about 1/3 the size I have open. This happens about every 5 minutes and is very annoying. It started only after the upgrade to version 5.0.1 yesterday (Mac OSX)

How can I prevent/disable/fix this? I am using Firefox on a desktop iMac. Have never encountered this with prior versions. It is SOOOOOO annoying! Please help me find a way to stop this automatic window resizing.

i am also having this problem as of today and it is also happening approximately every five minutes. i don't remember doing a firefox upgrade, though. i just checked "about/firefox" and i am using version 5.0. also, i am working on windows vista.

Anyone with help for how to disable this unwanted feature, or how to revert back to the prior version of Firefox?
