[...] Resizing Firefox screen to specific size with bookmarklet couldn’t be easier. I’ve mentioned about how you can create your own bookmarklet earlier, and here’s something better. By adding little scripts to these bookmarklet; not only it resizes but now it can re-position. Whether you want a full screen browser, a 1024×768 positioned in the center of your screen or 800 (width) with screen fit height browser, it’s all within one click. [...]

Has anyone figured out how to move it to the left a bit more? There still is some room to the left of the browser. In other words, it doesn’t go all the way to the left part of the screen.

For firefox 3 moveTo(0,0) doesn’t work but moveTo(0,1) does work.

I use to maximize window while in unity mode with vmware fusion:
javascript:self.moveTo(0,1);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight-25);

resizing works in firefox 3 but i can’t get it to move the window so that full screen mode is in the best position. have to drag it into place. is there a fix for that?

Resizing in firefox 3 works now. I was going crazy when it didn’t work in beta. :)

By default, Firefox 3 blocks JavaScript from resizing windows. Go to Preferences, Content, Enable JavaScript/Advanced, Scripts may not move or resize existing windows/Exceptions.

I haven’t really figured out how to add your bookmarks as exceptions, but if your browser is on a site on the exceptions list it will work. I just added google.com (my home page) as an exception. If I want to use a bookmarklet to resize, I have to be load google.com before it will work.

It’s crude, but it’s the only thing I’ve got so far.

Good writeup, I’ve been meaning to post something like this.

Here are some ones I’ve created that I find pretty useful:

Full screen
javascript:window.moveTo(0,0);window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

Half screen (left)
javascript:window.moveTo(0,0);window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth/2,screen.availHeight);

Half screen (right)
javascript:window.moveTo(screen.availWidth/2,0);window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth/2,screen.availHeight);

Quarter screen (top right)
javascript:window.moveTo(screen.availWidth/2,0);window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth/2,screen.availHeight/2)

Quarter screen (bottom right)
javascript:window.moveTo(screen.availWidth/2,screen.availHeight/2);window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth/2,screen.availHeight/2)

I hope they fix it in Firefox 3 Beta soon. :)
