How do I disable "Exceptions" button for "Block pop-up windows" in Content tab?. I am able to Disable other Exception buttons in this tab using about:config preference.

Need a way to disable "Exception" button for "Block Pop-up windows" in Tools-> Options -> Content tab. I want to be able to do this for Locking Down Firefox preferences.
== User Agent ==

That button doesn't have a pref associated with it, so you can't disable that button with a pref on the about:config page or a lockPref call.
That only leaves the choice to remove that button with code in userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>#popupPolicyButton {display:none!important;}</nowiki></pre>

  • I have a problem with Firefox. The checkbox for "Block pop-up windows" under Tools – Options – Content unchecks itself when I close the browser.

    In other words, I can go into the content tab, check the box to stop pop-ups, but if I close the browser, and then reopen it, the box is no longer checked. What is the cause of this?

    Thank you for your help. Unfortunately, none of the fixes that you directed me to worked; the “safe mode” fix, prefs.js change to prefs.jsOLD fix, the blow it out and reinstall fix; and prefs-1.js does not exist. I’m willing to try any other fixes you can think of, so send them along if you have any.
    One thing that did come to mind though is; the extension “.js” is for java script. And, with Firefox 6.0 installed, the Java 6 Update 26 is disabled, with the message under add-ons – extensions being, “Java Console is incompatible with Firefox 6.0.” Could this be the reason I can’t get the “Block pop-up windows” box to remain checked?
    I’m not an IT guy, so any further help will be appreciated.

  • Disabling always ontop for wifi pop-up window

    I'm not sure this is the correct forum in do this in, but I have a problem with using the Wifi at my university and the multi-desktop feature of OS X Yosemite.
    When I log onto my university wifi it comes up with a Safari pop-up window detailing my internet usage. Unfortunately, it doesn't take into account the multi-desktop feature of OS X Yosemite. The window is always on top of all the desktops - it sits in front of my Word document, my pdf document, my general web browsing etc. When I swipe between the desktops it just just comes along and gets in the way.
    There are no options on the window other than closing it. Unfortunately, if I close the window, it disables my connection.
    Is there a way to disable the 'always on top' nature of this window?

    The answer was provided here:How to stop the wifi pop-up window?

  • Button for block keyboard

    I work on a Kids Program and i want to add a button for blocking keyboard. I search on Google and on Social.Microsoft but i don't see. Thanks!

    O.K.
    Why are you not posting your question in a forum that is about programming with Visual Studio?
    Or programming in a specific language like VB.Net or C# .Net or C++?
    You posted your question in a forum called "Project Server General Questions and Answers". You could've posted in any of hundreds of forums yet for some reason you decided to post in this forum for a question which has nothing to do with Project
    Server.
    Therefore try finding a Forum for posting your question in which would be a Forum for programming. And then explain that you want code for locking or unlocking the numeric keypad in a button click event.
    After all this is not a Forum people would search for answers to questions on or post questions for code. It is a Forum people search for answers on questions about and post questions for Project Server.
    What looks like it may contain an appropriate Forum for you to post your question in, in the image below?

  • Exceptions for blocking pop-ups

    Hi
    Firefox has the ability to include exceptions for blocking pop=ups but Safari does not have this ability. This is useful for a few sites that I visit regularly.
    Is there a plug-in that provides this ability?
    thanks Colin

    Same here. This "all-or-none" approach is really inadequate, even if you can toggle it on and off with command-K. It's annoying to have to keep changing it all the time.

  • How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox updates?

    How can I shut off all of the pop-up windows for all the Firefox and Thunderbird updates?
    Apparently now Mozilla creates new versions of their browser and email apps every two weeks instead of just creating updates... I'm tired of all of the pop-up requests for these constant installation requests and all the problems that the new version installations create... I just want to use the software and be left alone.
    I can't find a way to make Firefox and Thunderbird stop with the pop-up requests for new installations... is there a way to do this or has Mozilla just got it rigged so one can't just use the software without re-installing a new version every two weeks and running in to new plugin issues and missing features every time?
    Help!
    Thanks,

  • Where is the button for HP Director in Windows 7?

    Where is the button for HP Director in Windows 7?  Trying to find the printer cartridge ink levels.  This is very easy to do on Canon printers.  Hopefully I can accomplish the same thing on an HP in at least a day.  I've been looking for about an hour, so far.
    Very frustrated.

    One ? should suffice, and why the capital letters?  Try to remain calm.  I know Photoshop can be frustrating, but In the grand scheme of things your inability to find a control in an application you're using really doesn't need such emphasis...  Please look up "netiquette" when you have a chance.
    Try hovering your cursor over things and look at the ToolTip help balloons that pop-up.
    You can add a Layer Mask by choosing Layer - Add Layer Mask from the menus.
    If you're seeking the icon on which to click to begin painting on a Layer Mask, this is the one you want:
    If you are talking about making layers visible or invisible, that's the little eyeball icon at the left of each layer in the Layers palette.

  • HT3986 Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard? Many Thanks

    Hi All
    Does anyone know how to enable the "Delete" key for logging on the Windows 7 partition on the latest iMac, via the latest Apple wireless keyboard - the standard wired apple keyboard works fine via this key but not the new wireless keyboard?
    Many Thanks

    Holy crap, this fixes the issue.  At least temporarily it has.  I should add that my issue was single finger forward/back swipe stopped working on the magic mouse in Firefox since Mavericks came along.  I have been fighting this since I upgraded to Mavericks a few months ago.  Thank you, tbirdvet.  You have no idea how much easier you just made using my iMac again.

  • Safari not blocking pop-up windows

    Even though I have block pop-up windows checked in in the Safari menu, I am finding that this blocking feature is not reliable. One of the pop-up windows I see frequently is for Netflix. This is not the only one.
    Does anyone know of a method to really inhibit the pop-up windows in addition to what I am doing?
    I'm running the latest OS (10.5.4)
    Thanks for any help.

    It's not possible to block all popups, since some are activated by Flash instead of JavaScript, so unless you remove the Flash plugin or have some way of disabling it, you will always see an occasional popup window, depending on which kinds of sites your visit.
    that's just the nature of the beast.

  • Why am I asked for a password when trying to use about;config, where is the password set and can I change/delete this?

    I tried to use about:config, but I was asked for a password. I don't remember entering a password and have never used the master password function. Where has this come from, and how can I change the password or get rid of the need for a password?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    Waiting for Tidbits and Elector to grace my post with there constant negativity and start a war of words as usual... since they love stirring the pot and angering the Windows Phone Community every time they reply to posts.  I just can't believe they spend that much time here on the forums replying if they are not a paid Verizon employee or a paid basher from a competing platform.

    Well I found nothing wrong in your post. So why even make a statement like the quote I included?
    Once more I am a retired government employee. So I have the time to post. Or has my rights been taken away to voice an opinion?
    Your posts was great you were not whining about your rights to file complaints to the FCC or FTC etc. One of the best I have read.
    And I am not trying to sway you from your phone choice. If you looked at my avitar it shows apple iphones. But I use and have used androids and not Windows phones.
    However your numbers of windows phone users all leaving over the issue is miniscule in the number of users of Android and iOS devices.
    I have written many times I wish all the devices get updated like iOS devices do. But at present that is not happening
    No bashing, no adversarial post just a little common sense is all I use.
    And again your post was great.
    Good Luck
