Allowed Pop Up Windows are Blank

i've only recently encountered this problem in the past month. the sites i know are affected are fanfiction.net and scribophile.com.
fanfiction.net is using a javascript;; for editing a link in one's profile.
scribophile.com is using a php to send a private message: http://www.scribophile.com/dashboard/popups/addprivatemessage.php?userid=17380
in both instances, a new-fangled looking white window pops up. (the fanfiction.net one even resizes itself and has a fancy top border). they are blank, utterly without content. they have a close X in the top corner that does close them. the php one is even blank when i choose to open it in a new tab like a regular page.
i have adblock plus and noscript. although i have tried turning them off for these particular web sites, the pop up windows still come out blank.
i have tried these solutions:
1: disable adblock plus and tell noscript to allow everything on the page(s). this does not work.
2: run firefox in safe mode. the popup windows then DO work.
3: i have gone to the firefox options and created exceptions to pop-up blocking for both sites. no joy.
4: i have gone into the add-on manager and disabled both adblock plus and noscript (but not other add-ons). no joy.
5: i have, one at a time, disabled every other add-on i have. no joy.
it appears to me that it is not actually the add-ons that are causing this behavior. although the windows work in firefox in safe mode, the same cannot be said of manually turning off the add-ons in "unsafe" mode.
is anything else going on in firefox that might be causing this behavior? i don't think it's the pop-up blocker, since the pop-ups DO appear... but no content inside. ugh.

# 1: disable adblock plus and tell noscript to allow everything on the page(s). this does not work.

  • I have MacOS 10.5.8, since two Firefox updates ago, my allowed pop-up windows are no longer accessible-I can see them when I look for all open items (Exposé) but nothing happens when I click on it. If I don't use Exposé, the window isn't visible at all.

    I block pop ups except for allowed sites, but on the allowed sites, the pop up windows don't appear unless I use Exposé, then when I click on the one in Exposé, it just returns to the open Firefox browser.

    Hi Tracy,
    I don't suspect Malware yet, Id guess Disk corruption or failing Hard Drive with Files not found.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen.  Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear

    Certain pop up windows are not apperaing on my screen.  Save as PDF and Doc preferences never appear, and lock me out until I press return.  So they are active, I just can't see them.  Any ideas?

    They are obviously off the screen somewhere. Did you have a dual monitor set up at one time? You can try increasing the resolution of your screen to see if you can get a part to show or maybe just resrt the preferences (Cmd(Ctrl)+Opt(Alt)+Shift as you restart AI) to reset the defaults.

  • Allowed pop-up windows still being blocked

    I selected to block pop-up windows. I then added a URL to allow pop-up windows for, but, the URL is still being blocked.

    You can inspect and manage the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
    *Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
    *Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
    *Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab
    You can inspect and manage the permissions for all domains on the <b>about:permissions</b> page.

  • Firefox will not load wanted/allowed pop up windows, a new window will open, but nothing loads.

    Firefox will not properly load wanted pop up windows from allowed site. It will allow the pop up to open, however nothing loads, it is just a blank window. I have not always had this problem and have not changed any settings to cause this. After the problem started I upgraded to version 3.6.7, cleared all recent history, and turned off pop up blockers. No change.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About a week ago

    THESoLUTION is here :-) right...
    1. you must go to control panel>programs>un-install programs
    2. find any versions of java and un-install them (in my case i had something called 'kiwee'.
    3. un install and voila!
    This solved my problem anyway , apologies if this is not your issue

  • In Illustrator CS4 in Mac OS 10.6.2 my windows are blank

    When I open Illustrator CS4, and open a new or older document, the windows (action, brushes, layers, pathfinder, etc) are blank. If I close and reopen Illustrator I have a 50/50 chance that they will appear. At times I have had to close and reopen numerous times. Any thoughts? No new hardware or programs added since installation of CS4.(I already uninstalled and re-installed)

    Dumping preferences was done. Restarting as you suggested has opened another symptom - I do not get a dialog box and most plugins don't load. I can use the program but with limited features. I have restarted normally for twenty times in a row and the windows are showing. So we shall see.
    Hopefully it will behave itself.
    Thanks,
    jm

  • Top of Pop up windows are cut off- out of frame, FF 30.0

    On sites where I've allowed pop-ups the pop up often displays with the top cut off (out of the frame). Never had this problem with other versions of FF. Just started when I upgraded to 30.0. Win 7, Res 1366 x 768.

    Do you mean the content ''in the window'' is cut off, or the window itself is off the screen upwards of where it should be?
    ''Page content''
    Could you try down-zooming the content of the pop-up by holding down the Ctrl key and tapping the - key a couple times. If that makes the content fit the pop-up, the site probably is using a fixed size window that doesn't allow for higher zoom levels.
    I am not aware of a fix for that, since the values usually would be hardcoded into the site's script. But pop-up windows should be resizable. That's a hassle if you have to do it often, so perhaps there's an add-on to work around this issue.
    ''Window position''
    If you can't click and drag the title bar down, try using the Windows "Move" function. With the popup window active, press Alt+Spacebar and display the window control menu. This may or may not be visible. Press M to select the move function, and press the down arrow until the title bar of the pop up appears on the screen. Then press Enter to accept the current position.
    Does Firefox remember your preferred position the next time, or same problem?

  • ITunes Glitch? Pop-Up Windows are hidden?

    Windows XP Pro - Runs iTunes 7.0.2 just fine - except for the pop up windows in iTunes. A majority of the time a window pops up (are you sure you wish to download this song, or the iPod updates, etc.) the window cycles for just a split second and then disappears. The pop up window is still there, you can't click anything else in iTunes till I close it, I can close it with alt+f4, and when I click anywhere else on the screen it briefly (milliseconds) appears on screen - obviously rendering iTunes features useless, and more importantly ticking me off. I reinstalled iTunes, same problem.
    Anyone else even heard of this before? I can't find anything in the forums. I'll take suggestions if you have them - Thanks!

    Sounds like some security software is freaking out, because it's not been set up properly for iTunes.

  • Pop-up windows are blocked even though I uncheck "Block pop-up windows" in the options.

    In Facebook, when I try to launch the player to play all the songs Songs iLike, it does not work. Instead, an empty window opens up. Also in Windows Live, when I try to pop out my conversations, it just says "If your pop out window is blocked, check your browser settings." and the same empty window appears.

    You may have another pop-up blocker on that PC, maybe as part of a security program.

  • Pop up windows are loading to the right (off the page)

    I have a 27" new iMac. In Safari when I open some pictures or pop up window they load far to the right cutting 1/2 of the window, off the screen. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    Quit Safari if it's open.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
    Move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.

  • GUI Unresponsive, some windows are blank, why?

    Taking my first steps in Solaris - SXCE on a new Ultra 40. So far the SunStudio interface has been very buggy for me. I need some help getting  SunStudio(any) AND NetBeans (6.01)  installed cleanly and working correctly.
    While installing SS12 the interactive-installer window would pop-up fine, but totally blank, no text, buttons or anything would render in the window. Had to use the CLI installer. Then decided to replace with SS-Express to get NB-6.01. The uninstaller kept doing the same thing. Think I uninstalled all of SS12 with 'prodreg' but not really sure. it was a mess...
    Installed SS-Express and at least once the 'auto-update' window similarly failed to render correctly. Also the GUI is now SLOW. Like pull down the side-scroll bar on the start-page and it will happen 10 seconds later. All other desktop apps remain fully responsive..Noticed 'Java' was using lots of CPU while this was happening.
    I'm at a loss, so any help is appreciated!

    So, here we go agian.
    Most threads are in a wait state.
    The only busy thread is the AWT thread and it's busy drawing things:

         at org.netbeans.modules.welcome.ui.AbstractTab.paintComponent(AbstractTab.java:170)
    This kind of blitting occurs when one attempts to draw translucent images, including
    anti-aliased text.
    The last time I saw this was in a version of nb 6.1 (post SunStudio12 express release)
    in the welcome page. Note how the stack trace shows that it's the welcome page being repainted.
    But it only was noticable if you xhosted which drastically
    reduces the latency of the x protocol. I'm surprised that this is happenning in non-networked X.
    To verify the above please uncheck the "always show" checkbox in the welcome page, close it and
    see if things improve.
    There is a fix for this problem with the welcome page. While you verify I'll
    try and see which version it's in and how we can get this fix out.

  • Can't DownloadFirefox for Mac. download disappears from download window in safari. pop up windows are not blocked.

    I have watched firefox download. Once it is complete it disappears from the download window in Safari.
    My pop up blocker is shut off.
    I can download when I am in Administrator mode but not under individual username account.

    You should be able to check in Safari to find where downloads are going, in Preferences > General. You can also change the download directory for Safari. If you cannot get Safari to work on that computer, maybe download Firefox on some other computer and transfer the file on a flash stick or CD.

  • My pop up windows are blocked by a red circle & bar - Why?

    Since loading Firefox 4 I cannot access most secondary pop windows on all sites. I get a red circle & bar. How do I allow these windows to work?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
