Sure, there are a few ways to disable the textarea-resizing handles in Firefox 4.

Using CSS

The simplest way to disable the resizing handles is to use CSS. You can add the following CSS rule to your HTML document:

CSS

textarea {
  resize: none;
}

This will prevent the user from resizing the textarea, and will also hide the resizing handles.

Using JavaScript

You can also disable the resizing handles using JavaScript. The following JavaScript code will disable the resizing handles for all textarea elements:

JavaScript

document.querySelectorAll('textarea').forEach(function(textarea) {
  textarea.style.resize = 'none';
});

Using the Firefox Developer Tools

You can also disable the resizing handles using the Firefox Developer Tools. To do this, open the Developer Tools, and then select the "Elements" tab. Find the textarea element that you want to disable the resizing handles for, and then right-click on it. Select the "Inspect" option from the menu that appears.

In the Inspector window, expand the "Style" section. In the "Properties" pane, find the "resize" property. Set the value of the "resize" property to "none".

This will disable the resizing handles for the selected textarea element.
