Getting blank pop up windows in safari

My name is Mason. In safari, I have disabled my pop up blocker from the safari menu, as well as in safari preferences. So, I have solved my problem of the window being blocked. However, now when a pop up window comes up, all I get is a blank page. At the top where the address would be, it says "go to this address" like a blank page. It seems to be that it cant read the destination for pop ups. Does anyone know what's going on here and how to fix it? Please help. Thank You!

The pop ups are due to malware.

    You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
    Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root   /Library
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    The next one is in your Home folder.
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    When you're done, try Safari.

    I read that several other people have been bothered by a drop down message talking about a bad certificate and perhaps non secure site when working in Safari.  I, too, keeping getting this pop up when in Safari that is from "tap-security.rubicon....  I saw the suggestion to turn off all extensions, but this didn't help.  What next can be done?

    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • Just recently I am getting the following error message when trying to access web sites. I get a pop up window stating "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: c.location is null" then I have to click ok. It is an issue with some plug-in?

    Just recently I am getting the following error message when trying to access web sites. I am using Firefox browser version 10.0.2. I get a pop up window stating "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: c.location is null" as the web site page is being displayed in browser winder. Then I have to click ok. It doesn't matter what web link/site I go to it happens. It is an issue with some plug-in?

    I have advised McAfee's product team of the problem and this thread, and they're looking into it now.

  • I'm trying to download the latest version of firefox. I get a pop up window that asks me what to open it with. I've tried adobe reader 9, acrobate reader 5, and real player. None work

    OK, I'll take you through what happens. When I click download firefox 4 I get a pop up window that asks "what should Firefox do with this file?"
    Below I have two choices:
    _Open with (choose)
    _Save File
    So I go to choose and pick an application.
    So I choose Acrobate Reader 5.0. Acrobate gives me a popup that says "Acrobat could not open firefox 4.0-4.dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the fire has been corrupted....
    So I try download again (I should point out that I am currently running Firefox 3.6.16) The popup that asks me to choose a file to open firefox 4.0.dmg pops up again.
    So I choose Adobe Reader 9. Nothing happens. So I cancel.
    So what application should I go to to open Firefox 4.0.dmg

  • Upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and now I get a pop-up window that I have to click ok before I can start Firefox. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I upgrade to Firefox 5.0 and now when I start Firefox it takes a While but I get a Pop-up window with the message [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]" nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://fvd.single/content/fvd_single.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1526" data: no] Once I press ok on the pop-up window, Firefox will then start okay. I have not noticed any other problems yet.

    We suspect this issue is caused by [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader-youtube/ Flash Video Downloader] , can anyone confirm this by disabling this addon and verifying if the issue still occurs?
    Thanks!

  • Help, I get a pop up window

    I used to have a Yahoo account and set it up on Mail to read all my mails when I bought my computer. 
    I had too much spam and had to close the account and set up another account.  Well now, every hour I get a pop up window requesting the password for my old Yahoo accont.  I have tried everything, even called iMac help, and no luck.  Has this ever happened to anyone?  how did you fix it?
    You can't move it and it blocks your working window. 
    thanks,
    A.

    It sounds like you have your email set up to check the mail every hour. Since you still have that defined as an account to your email, it tries to check the mail, has a password issue, and gives you the annoying pop-up window.
    If you go into your mail, preferences, accounts, choose that old account (assuming you want to keep it to keep the mail that was associated with it), click the advanced tab, and uncheck "Include when automatically checking for new messages".

  • When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet.

    When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet. I am aware of tabs, but I prefer to just open new windows.
    Do I really need a pop up window telling me that I just closed Firefox? Is there a way to disable it in options? I can't even use Buzof program to auto click for me. I've never had this issue with any other browser and I find it incredibly annoying.

    I am not clear what you mean by:
    ''the program will only alow 1 website for each time I boot my machine,''
    Are you talking about Firefox or something else in the above statement. Firefox will, or should allow you to open quite a few tabs at startup if you wish, although it will be faster the fewer that you do open.
    When you say
    ''I close it the program does not completely close ''
    Again what is happening, what error messages if any do you see, and what exactly makes you think Firefox is not closing properly.
    Presumably you have already clicked on the blue links in my first post and read those articles.

  • When I try to move an email to trash,  I get a pop up window saying it cannot move the email to trash,  however; it does delete the email.  How can I stop the message pop-up?

  • I get a pop up window when leaving a site asking if I am sure I want to leave, the only way to get out is kill Firefox in task mgr but FF restarts the lockup

    On some sites I get a pop up window asking if I am sure I want to leave the site. The only option is to click on the pop up, nothing else works you cannot use back or even shutdown FF. I have to shut down with task manager, but when I restart FF it goes back to the locked up page.

    If you want to change how Firefox starts up after a crash, you have the option to have Firefox show a list of windows and tabs. Then you can deselect the tab you do not want opened again. Here's how to change the setting:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (C) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
    Note: Please don't customize any other sessionstore preferences to zero, or you might lose the ability to recover your closed windows and tabs.

  • I keep getting a pop-up window that says I must upgrade to Firefox 15.0.1, but I already have done that from the Mozilla website.

    I got a pop-up window from Firefox saying that I needed to upgrade (I had Firefox 14.0.1). I have a Mac desktop with operating system Lion. When I'd try to connect through the prompt on that window, it wouldn't connect. So I went to the Mozilla website and downloaded version 15.0.1.dmg. But I'm still getting the pop-up window.
    Also, when I start my computer, there's always a question mark in the Firefox place on the dock and a window that prompts me to drag the firefox emblem over to another emblem. But when I do that, I get a window that says that this is an older version of Firefox than the one that's installed, do I want to replace it with the older one (which I have declined to do).

    Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
    Open the Firefox disk image (DMG) file and drag the Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
    You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.
    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Why do I keep getting a pop-up window that says install Java when I try to open a pdf file?

    Why do I keep getting a pop-up window that says install Java when I try to open a pdf file?

    (You can take screenshots of the windows in your computer using Alt+PrintScreen... No need to use a camera)
    This is quite odd. Where did you get the Reader installer from? I would suggest uninstalling it and then downloading the installer from Adobe (here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ ) and re-installing it.
