Feature Request: Floating Notification Messages

Post by Stereodude »

Is it possible to add an option in NoScript to make the Notification Messages float over the rendered browser area instead of reducing the rendered area? The reduced rendered area causes pages that dynamically adjust to the size of your browser window to reformat themselves after the messages autohide. It also causes Add-on's like ImageZoom to resize the images a 2nd time after the notification goes away as the rendered window size changes.

Here's an example.

Here's the bottom of my screen when I go to a website:

After 5 seconds the Notification messages go away:

You can see the bottom of the side scroll bar moves because the rendered area of the browser changes.

Here's how the bottom of the screen looks when something floats over the rendered area:

Is this possible?

Thanks! NoScript is a great Add-on for Firefox by the way.

Might not be a bad idea. Perhaps similar to an AdblockPlus "detach".
