Firefox Extensions for Resizing Form Fields

If you do a lot of forum posting or blog commenting, most of it is done online with a provided textarea box from within a form. The textarea boxes are usually very tiny to post any extended length of commentary and causes you to continually scroll up, down, and even sideways just to review what you had just typed. Of course there is the "preview" option, but if there is a correction to make -- you still have to locate it inside of that miniscule box.

Enter Two Extensions to the Rescue

First there is the quick and dirty Resizeable Textarea extension which lets you resize virtually most textarea form boxes. The other, more bells, is a Resizable Form Field extension for textareas, as well as select boxes, text fields, and even iframes.

I use the Textarea only extension, and it works quite well. A little buggish at times, seems it will not work if open the form up in a new window. Another user reported the same thing, citing Gmail as an example, works well when composing in the main window, but doesn't work for the text area if you click the "open in new window" icon.

Have not tried the other flavor yet, and as of this post, there are no reviews. Asa Dotzler likes it though, even though there appears to be some abnormal behaviour with it -- such as form fields getting resized in other tabs.
