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?

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?
