FF 2.0.0.13
When I open http://news.bbc.co.uk/ and then open an article to read the new
presentation is often with a smaller FF window. It doesn't happen with all
links, just a few. Today there are 3 culprits with URLs over 100 characters
long:
http://tinyurl.com/6obpdh
http://tinyurl.com/58lmqe
http://tinyurl.com/66aqmq
Interestingly enough those are all video presentations.
Anyone have an idea as to how to prevent this or even the cause of it?
FWIW this doesn't happen in IE7.

If you want to prevent that a script possibly amends the window size,
then it could be that your Advanced Javascript [1] settings allow for it.
Notes:
[1] Tools menu, select Options, select Content, view to the right of the
check Enable Javascript for the button Advanced and click on it to check
what is allowed for the script.

You're welcome. Those options are set by default, if you didn't touch
