Fluid Browser Window
About the extension
This Behavior will resize a browser window in any direction at your specified dimensions and speed. Additional pages with the behavior applied can be loaded into the opened window forcing it to resize itself again.
The transition to other pages can be automated with a timed delay in seconds using the AutoSlideShow feature.
