I'm currently awaiting the arrival of a new pc and in the meantime am having to work on a small laptop screen.

I need to have two browser windows open at the same time, tiled horizontally. Is there a shortcut to open a new window without all the usual fluff that you get?

You can turn some of them off in the 'view' menu under 'toolbars'.

Yes but I'm lazy and want it to happen with one shortcut if possible. :) plus this won't get rid of the main menu bar. – adolf garlic Jan 4 '10 at 14:34

When you say no javascript I assume you mean you're asking from a Firefox user perspective, not as a coder? If you're not opposed to javascript in principle you could always type this into your address bar:

javascript:window.open("http://www.google.com", "_blank", "resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no")

This will open a url in a new window, without toolbars. You will have to uncheck Block popup windows in Tools > Options > Content for this to work though. Also, Firefox from version 3 forces the address and status bars to be shown on all windows, you can disable this in about:config (more information).
