Ever since I launched this site and started working with WordPress, I’ve been plagued with unmanageable ugly pop-up windows that come up when I try to insert pictures and/or view the raw HTML of a post using the TinyMCE (Rich Text) Editor. Almost invariably the window that would pop-up would be resized to really odd dimensions on their own causing most of the text input fields to be placed out of sight. 
As a result, I’d to type the location of the images almost blindly. Really frustrating if you know what I mean.
Here’s a snapshot…
You can figure how difficult it was to fill up the required data for the image. Worst part was these pop-up windows were devoid of any sort of resizing grip/control and hence you couldn’t even drag it and resize it to a desirable dimension.
Second problem I faced was that certain sites I visited would either pop-up similar windows or suddenly caused the Firefox window to resize itself to ridiculous dimensions like 50 x 50 pixels just to display some useless ad. A major nuisance, if you ask me.
Thus, I got down to figuring out a way to stop this. Now, with whatever limited knowledge of JavaScript I have, I knew for sure this was being done with some JS code. It didn’t take me long to find the solution. Browsing around the Firefox support forums helped a lot.

Preamble:
Google AdSense Referrals are pretty cool in a way as they contribute well in topping up on your daily AdSense earnings. Moreover, they’re quite unobtrusive and can be placed anywhere on the page without interfering with the content much.
