[dba-Tech] Firefox has a new feature

[Dan Waters]

Hi Kathryn,

The windows won't need to be manually resized.  Use the mouse to click and hold the title bar of any window and drag your mouse to the side of the monitor.  You'll see the window 'snap' to a size that is half the monitor and is on the side where you dragged it to.  Then let go of the mouse button.  This works in W7+.  

In W10 you can also drag into the corner of a monitor to 'snap' a window to 1/4 size.  That way you can display 4 equally sized windows which fill the monitor.

Dan

Doing the way you mention involves  opening a second incident of browser,
resizing both windows to position them side by side. Then when done,
resizing the main window back to preferred size. This new FF feature you
click on the side by side icon, and when done, click the x. Much, much,
simpler.
