Close dialog window by clicking on 'X'

Hi
I am displaying a dialog window that allows the user to modify data.
When the user clicks on the 'Cancel' button I have placed on the window, the action code fires and the return listener fires.
I have added some java script that executes the following command when the user closes the dialog by clicking on the close icon.
submitForm("groupCaptureForm",0,{source:"cancelGroup"});
Basically simulating a click on the 'Cancel' button.
For some reason when the user closes the window by clicking on the close icon, the action code fires, but the return listener code never fires.
Any idea why?

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")

Close dialog with a click outside it

How can I close a JDialog when the user clicks elsewhere? If it is modal, no mouse events are generated. With a non-modal dialog, I couldn't use FocusListener, the dialog looses focus just after it is made visible. MouseListener didn't worked too, a mouse event is generated by the same click that opened the dialog.
I feel this has to be simple, but... where is the road?

You could listen for window deactivation events.
But ... Closing a dialog when someone clicks outside it is very non-standard behavior. People expect that they have to take explicit action in response to a dialog, and not following that model is generally a bad idea. Consider the person who accidentally clicks outside the dialog -- perhaps to look for information in another window -- and then can't get back to where s/he was.

Close browser window on click - pass parameter

Hi,
I have two applications (iViews) in the portal, one passing parameter to the other. On click of 1st iView, it passes parameters to 2nd iView, which opens as a separate window in portal. I need to select some values in it and on clicking OK, some parameters should be passed to the 1st IView and the window must be closed. The parameter must be made available in the 1st Iview, by autorefreshing.

Confirmation from Safari when you close a window on Mavericks

Hi all,
I was wondering if it was possible to have like a little warning from Safari when we quit a window on this application. For example: Are you sure you want to quit this window?". Firefox has this application when you close a window with several tabs.
I looked in the preferences, but i haven't found it. I know this kind of warning was present on the elder versions of Safari, so why not now?
Hope you can help,
Tim
I have a MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) and the Safari 7.0.2

Actually, you're right. After a little investigation, it was the way I was using the gui that was making this happen. During debuging (using Netbeans) I would open the dialog window then click on netbeans to check the console for a couple System.out.println()'s I put in the code. Then on closing the Dialog window Netbeans would be the next window selected by the OS and would appear over the original JFrame. D'oh! Just sillyness on my part imagining problems for myself.
I guess what I was looking for was that when I close the dialog window that the OS would focus to the parent JFrame instead of the previously viewed application.
Thanks!

Hi,
you close dialog windows through the handler that you obtain when opening the window. In IE - and I assume this is where your problem comes from - a security mechanism has been added to prevent scripts from closing root windows without notification. If you want to close the root window I think the work around is to call a HTM page that only calls window.close() in its onload body attribute

How do I open with one click all the windows that I have been minimized? When I right click on the lower bar Firefox icon, I only see the option to close all windows.

It is used to be that I could right click on the Firefox icon on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and I would then be given the option to open all windows. Now I only see the option to close all windows. The ability to open all windows is very useful. Have you eliminated this capability? It was a very helpful feature because I often have more than 15 windows minimized at one time. On a regular basis I like to open them all and keep only the ones that I still need. I know that it is possible to see the name of each window that is minimized by moving my cursor over the Firefox icon, but this does not provide enough information. So I have to open each window one at a time to look at it and then decide to close it or keep it - this is a frustrating, time-consuming process. Is there another way to open all the minimized windows at the same time, instead of one at a time?

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
* Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
* Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer.
You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.

FIREFOX CRASHES WHEN I click to close any window from a website,

I am on a website- any website. I click on a link or box within the website and a window opens. When I am done with that window I click the box in the window that says "close" or I click the little "x" in the corner and BANG- firefox closes, no crash report at all, just closes completely with out warning. Would like to re install firefox 3.???? never had that the the 3+ versions.Maybe I should start using IE again or I see that safari is supposed to be fast too?

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.<br />
Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
See "Disable virus scanning in Firefox preferences - Windows"

When a website launches a new window to enter information, Firefox no longer automatically closes the window when you click the submit button. Why?

For example, when I create a message in my autoresponder service and want to attach an image a new window opens up so I can enter the details of the image (url, position, alt text). When I click the Save button, the information is captured but the window remains open and I have to manually close it.
Firefox used to close the window automatically.

YES!! Thank you jscher2000! You sir are a legend. Thanks for this, changed the newtaburl in about:config, totally worked. Nope, never saw it happening! Speedy machine this one :P Yep, that change completely sorted the issue, just opened about 741 new tabs through the shortcut on my mouse just to celebrate. Thanks guys who helped, no thanks those who didn't.

Clicking on download doesn't open usual dialog window on some websites

Firefox 26 in Xubuntu 13.10.
When I download files (.pdf, .rar, .txt, or whatever) from most sites a dialog window opens asking me what I want to do with said file, e.g. open with Default utiliy for that file type, or save file to local disk.
This does not seem to work on some websites however. In particular trying to download a .mkv file doesn't open the usual dialog and just fills my page with coding text that is way above my paygrade.
I am not at all familiar with .mkv and any quirks or individualities it may have, so I guess my initial question is, do I need some kind of additional FF plug-in to download this file type or is there a fault with the config of the websites involved?

[SOLVED] Many thanks for your prompt response. It looks like the problem solved as per your advice to Right-click on the link and selecting Save Link as.. rather than actually opening the linked page itself which, I think, was where I might well have been going wrong initially. Some additional info that may be useful for Xubuntu users - I opened Thunar file manager, navigated to the file being downloaded, Right-clicked and selected Properties and was able to monitor the progress and eventual completion of the download in real-time.
Thanks once again.

Open dialog window closes suddenly on Illustrator and Photoshop

Hello,
open dialog window closes suddenly on Illustrator and Photoshop

PPI is the correct word for an image's resolution.
As for printing: ask the service provider what's best for their workflow. It totally depends on the process, on the hardware, on the paper and on the size of the print.
For video: use screen resolution unless you want to enlarge the footage in the video.
Additionally:
read the manual of the video software in use
read about printing:

When I click on the pinned Firefox icon it only opens and closes one window rather than opening a new window.

It used to be that every time I clicked on the pinned Firefox logo in the taskbar a new window would open. Now when I click the pinned logo it only opens and closes one window.

hello, this seems to me like intended behaviour - all other open programs behave the same way, a click on the pinned icon minimizes them, another one brings them back to the foreground.
you can open a new window by right-clicking on the firefox icon & selecting that option. the keyboard shortcut for it would be ctrl+n, or you can also [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|add a "open new window" button]] onto the firefox user interface.

When I try to close the Firefox window, it is not closing. I have to click outside of the window and click back on the x button in order to close it.

For example, if I type something into the Google search bar and then try to click on the minimize or close button, nothing happens. In order to close Firefox, I have to click ''outside'' the firefox window (on my desktop or task bar) and then I can click close. If I click inside the window again, I cannot close.

You could exit Firefox from the File menu. You can also use Ctrl-Shift-W to close the window.
