Alternative browsers that allow pop-ups?

My son just got an iPad for work thinking that he could use it with a web-based utility they use in the retail auto business. He can get onto the site with Safari, but when he goes to use a tab or link, some features are not functional. For instance, he sets up a customer document on the page, then attempts to email the customer from the utility (it works fine on his iMac and on PCs), the email dialogue comes up, but he can't type into the body area so it doesn't work. That was using the iPad's Safari. He tried something called Atomic Browser but again, no dice.
He seems to think that he needs a browser that allows pop-ups and pages from links to either open as a 2nd browser window on the screen, and that window has to be fully functional.
The iPad can be a great business tool, but they have to tailor Safari to work with web based applications as well as installed ones. But in the interim, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Try the iCab browser. You can set it to tell web based apps that it is Internet Explorer, for example, which might help.

  • No matter how many times I try to upgrade or reinstall, it always installs an older version that allows pop ups and viruses to keep coming back. How do I upgrade to the latest version of firefox if it only somehow always restores the previous version?

    No matter what I do, I cannot upgrade firefox, and as a result, almost every site I go on that no longer supports my browser keeps telling me to upgrade, and I keep getting back unwanted viruses. Each time I try to reinstall or upgrade firefox, all it does continuously is reinstall the old version I had previously.

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed, and those websites don't know you are running Firefox 3.6.3 (which is what you do have installed).
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''general.useragent.'''
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset''''',

  • How to allow pop-ups in Safari for all users

    How do you allow Safari pop-ups for all users? After rolling out 50 Mac OSX with Safari comes default with Safari pop-ups disabled, now I must allow pop-ups for all users logging in.
    Good day!

    Do you have an Exchange (e.g. a work) email account set up on the iPad ? If you do then it's possible that the account profile is preventing you turning popups 'on', in which case you would need to contact the email account administrator

  • How do I allow pop ups in safari without being asked "block or allow" ?

    I'm assuming that when I turned on the setting in Safari to allow pop-ups, I wouldn't have to tell the browser to allow or block every single pop up after that.  Is there a combination of settings to make allow pop-ups without the additional "block or allow" message from popping up before the pop up window.
    I used a 3rd party web application that has been coded for their drill-down messages to be displayed in another screen and I have no control over that.
    Thanks for any information you can provide.

    Well, not that helpful unless you can determine if that window is coming from Safari or iOS or from whatever the other "3rd party web application" you were talking about.
    If you don't want to play in that pool, then assume that iOS and/or Safari are working incorrectly. Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
    Restart - red slider, then boot up again
    Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
    Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
    Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
    Erase All Content -   same as above
    Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
    You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
    So .. start at #1.

  • Will not load local web-page and will not allow pop-ups

  • Allowed pop ups but safari won't open my Uni website. It just opens a fresh blank page? Using sim not wifi would this have something to do with it?

    I have a new iPad and am trying to open my Uni website. I have allowed pop ups but it just opens a new blank page. I'm using a sim not wifi, would this have anything to do with it?

    Thanks again ...
    This trouble is fairly new as I just got my MacBook Pro.  It's been going on for 2 weeks or so.  Prior to the MacBook I was using my old PC laptop and never had any difficulty.
    Nobody else seems to be having this problem at school and IT is completely unhelpful.  I've been told that nothing's wrong with the uni's internet/network, it's my laptop. 
    Could it be that the uni's network doesn't recognize my new Mac's IP address (I think that's right) and for some reason is blocking access?
    As for the VPN idea - I think I get it.  Can I set that up myself?

  • Not allowing pop ups

    Firefox is not allowing pop ups even though the block pop up box is unchecked.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|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.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode

    There is also security software that can block pop-ups, so can can check the advanced settings for Firefox in such programs.

  • Need to allow pop-ups for a site

    My bank has upgraded their website. I need to answer a question in a pop-up box to be able to use the website. Firefox blocks the pop-up box even though I have told it to allow pop-ups for the website.
    How do I get it to allow the pop-up box or do I have to use IE?

    I tried that. I also talked to the people who developed and maintain the site. They said it is not a pop-up window - it is part of the site. Since it showed when I tried Internet Explorer they think it is a problem with Mozilla Firefox or my web connection. They asked me to try accessing it with my computer at a public place that offers free Internet.

  • How do I configure my safari browser to allow pop-ups?

    How do I configure my browser to allow pop-ups from testing websites?

    whoa, whoa, whoa, part of the problem is that there is no indication that a pop-up is occurring or that it's being blocked like I just learned at Hertz.com. So it just looks like a legitmate pop-up fails since the default is to disable pop-ups (actually it looks like nothing). I don't want to always allow pop-ups for every website. I want to be prompted or notified when it happens - to allow for a good site (going forward) and block or be notified for all the other sites. Global on or off is not a great way to go, imho.

  • I need to know how to allow pop ups from a specific site.

    I need to allow pop ups from a website for schooling purposes. I need to know what I have to do to allow these pop ups please. Thank you for your time.

    Add an exception to '''Allow''' that website. <br />

  • I can't get Firefox to allow pop ups - changed setting in options but still blocking pop ups

    I have tried to allow pop ups by changing preferences in options but Firefox is not allowing the pop up windows. It used to work before but I can't understand why it won't work now.

    Under "Content" in Options, you have UNchecked "Block pop-up windows", yet you still don't see any popups? Can you give us an example of a site that is not showing pop-ups despite you turning the feature off?
    A good site to test the pop-up blocker feature is http://www.popuptest.com/ where you can see if it's running or not. More info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-up&r=0&e=sph&as=s

  • I just updated my firefox today and now when I click on my popups or additional windows they pop up full screen. They used to pop up much smaller how do I change my settings so that these pop ups will be smaller?

    This happens when I click on my links they pop up as the full screen not the size they used to show up. I have tried other browsers and the pop ups have not changed in size like Firefox. I will be more than happy to provide screen shots to fully demonstrate my concern.

    I believe this is more about the default settings of the pop-ups. I have tried the 3 methods above and they have not solved my issue.
    As I have stated before this issue is not happening with other web browsers.
    Mozilla is better compatible with the program I am running.
    It seems you know your way around Mozilla so pleas help.
    P.S. I have taken screen shots and attached them to a word doc so I could best illustrate my issue with commentary and arrows but it will not save to my post. I have even tried posting it as a PDF.
