Firefox 3.6 - popup windows are unresponsive - can't scroll or enlarge them.
Since upgrading to v3.6, have had trouble with popup windows. Specifically on Medco.com. The windows open, but I can't do anything in those windows. The maximize, minimize, and close buttons in the upper right don't work, and the scroll bars don't work, so I can't see all the data in the window. Also, the only way to close the window is by right clicking the window on the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and then clicking on 'close'.
After having that problem with the popup windows on Medco.com, everything in Firefox was running very slowly. I had four tabs open, and they were all painfully slow. Finally Firefox crashed while I was writing an email in Hotmail.com.
I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

I installed Lion 10.7.4. Went to use Photoshop Cs and got a popup window. You can't open the application Adobe Photoshop CS because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. Is there a way of getting this to work or do I have to get newest version of all of my Power PC apps?
Welcome to Apple Communities
PowerPC applications are unsupported in newer versions. You can upgrade Photoshop or you can install Snow Leopard in a partition.
1. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities) and select your drive
2. Go to Partitions tab, press + button, create a new partition and press Apply
3. Insert the Snow Leopard install DVD and reboot pressing C key
4. Install it in the new partition
5. If you want to change boot, go to System Preferences > Startup Disk and select 10.7 -
How can I detect if ANY popup windows are showing
I have implemented a couple of JInternalFrames which can be closed by pressing the escape key, however, inside these frames different parts of the code will sometimes show JPopupMenus and they too should be closable by pressing the escape key.
Thus, I need to close my frames when the user presses escape but only if no popups are showing. For instance, if the user right clicks in my frame to show a popup, then the first time he or she presses escape the popup will close, and the second time the frame itself will close.
What I am looking for is a generic approach to this, that would make it possible for me to detect if any popup windows are currently visible and only if that is not the case I will proceed and close the frame.
I have been giving this some thought but I have not yet come up with a good solution to this. Has anyone implemented something like this or does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a preferred way to get all popups of a frame, dialog, window or the like?
Thanks
RandahlI also ran into this issue. The previous post can be solved easily by the new event structures, but I need to check if a panel is the frontmost in windows as well.
The FP.Is frontmost property returns if a panel is the frontmost Vi within Labview but not if Labview is the frontmost window in windows.
I ran into this as I am making some stuff to use the scollwheel.
As an example I have added two Vi's. Just load & run these, as long as Labview is active this works. But I would like to have something that switches the lights off when I select another Windows application.
I (think I) cannot use the USER32.dll API as I reconstruct a reference to the 'owner vi' using a control reference.
Anyone has some experience with this??

when I try to update Firefox I get a window saying it can't be loaded because I do not have all the necessary permissions. What does this mean and what do I do?
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 DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

I have been using Firefox on a Mac computer for a number of years and have been happy with it. I have recently gone to a different trading platform called Trademonster.com and am having issues with its operation. When I call Trademonster, they told me that my Firefox must allow pop-up windows to operate. I do notice that when I log on to Trademonster on Firefox, it does say ".. Firefox prevented 2 pop-up windows from opening". I have gone to Preferences and under Security entered trademonster.com as a site to have access but I am still getting the signal that Firefox is preventing popup windows from coming up on the trading platform.
PLEASE HELP.
Thx.

My interface -- buttons (back, forward, reload), firefox tab, groups, etc. -- does not look like the sample on your "firefox features" page. ("Groups" seems not to function at all.) I'm running the current firefox 4 download on Windows XP. Can you help?
cor-el
Thank you for your swift reply. I don't know that this has helped me, as I've reached my level of tolerance for fooling with this annoying little problem - for today anyway. It has been going on since I "up" graded to Firefox 4. My wife is running 3.6.x on her laptop with none of this foolishness. As BLASPHEMOUS as it may sound, I've gone back to IE for the time being even though I don't like it 1000th as much as I do Firefox.
Not just to rant here, I would say that I found a way to put some buttons on the right side of the toolbar that immediately gave me permission to "back, forward, and reload", but upon closing the browser and going out for dinner with the wife, I find on return that not only are those buttons NOT still on the toolbar, but I can't find them anymore. I think they were in "add-ons" found under I believe Add-On Manager.
I did also manage to achieve back/forward functionality running Firefox in SAFE mode, but this meant no No-Script, among other things, and I've grown too fond of that particular little script to give it up.
I've rebooted, restored, and reinstalled, can't get this formerly completely reliable program to work like it always has. Before looking around on here, I was beginning to think it was my PC.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, cor-el. I'm going to see if I can get on live chat on Monday.

I'm using "window.open()" to show one Calendar in a popup window. I can see that the popup is re-sizable. How can I prevent the user from re-sizing the popup? I have tried "resizable=yes|no|1|0" and that seems to be not working.
You can't prevent users from resizing a pop-up.

My webmail interface is SmarterMail from Plesk as supplied by Hostgator. When Firefox updated to v31.0, I lost the ability to send mail because the popup windows for "New", "Reply", "Reply All", and "Forward" are too small to enter information and cannot be resized or maximized.
This problem does not occur with older versions of Firefox (tested 16.0.2, 21.0, 24.0, and 30.0) or with Chrome or Internet Explorer. While I am writing to you from a Windows XP Pro SP3 system, I have also verified the problem under Windows 7 Pro (x64) and Windows 8.1 (x64).
It's not profile settings, malware, or add-ons. I've tried Firefox Safemode and I've tried "Reset Firefox".
For the time being the workaround is to disable Firefox updates and downgrade everybody with v31 to v30. Please fix this ASAP. You have lots of people reporting it.As a temporary workaround, you can block website scripts from resizing windows. It's a bit of a sledgehammer, but another user who has this problem indicated that it does stop the SmarterMail script from rolling up the window.
Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''dom''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''dom.disable_window_move_resize''' preference to switch it from false to true. -
Stop Firefox from stopping popup windows at website used daily
When I select a link to a website used daily, Firefox says it is blocking a popup window. I want to stop Firefox from doing this as I go to these websites daily and am tired of this irritant.
Hi,
Firefox popup blocking settings are in the preferences- have a look under the Edit menu, and the content tab contains your popup blocking options. You should be able to solve the problem by adding the website you're interested in to the exception list. Have a look at the [[Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting|article about it here.]] -
My wife has a display problem on her MacBook, running OSX 10.7.5. When her cursor goes over a menu item on a webpage, the popup window is transparent so that the underlying page shows through.
Hi there NickelB,
It looks like you may be experiencing image persistence on your display. Take a look at the article below for some information on avoiding it.

Anytime that a new window is opened (such as when sending an email message or opening a pdf) I am unable to click on the new window. I can't click send or click on the scroll bars of the new window. If I attempt to click on the window it clicks on whatever is behind the window instead. If the new window opens with a cursor within it then I am able to type or scroll through with keyboard arrows, but cannot click or use the mouse scroll buttons. I also cannot choose items from drop down menus with the mouse (even in the original window). I must use the keyboard arrows to select any menu options.
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.

I wanted my Avast! updates to be current. I have not run Avast! again. I just ran it about 1:30 AM local time. I got up from sleeping and just restarted my computer after looking at the summary from Avast! All I did was close Avast! and click "Restart" and re-entered my computer and opened 2 Firefox browsers and 2 Explorer browsers. One of the Firefox browsers said it needed to update which it attempted but then a window popped up that said Firefox could not update and I should do it manually. The other Firefox browser says "Download Firefox for your Android (I don't have Android) and also said "Restore Previous Session" which I will attempt right now.

Requested popup windows are totally whited out
I've been having this problem in Firefox and Safari.
When I publish a blog on the website I'm working on, I need to add embedded links and pictures. All of a sudden, I can't get either to work in Firefox or Safari. I even changing servers and blogging programs, but can't get anything to work.
The issue is this: when I click on the embed button, a popup should come up with the text of highlighted and allow me to embed a link in it-- almost exactly like you would do in a Gmail message, if that helps. Instead, a blank window appears and there's nowhere to type or copy-paste text-- I can't embed HTML either. In WordPress, I can't even see the button to click on to insert pictures. I disabled Safari's popup blocker and my Firefox doesn't have one. I also cleared the cache and cookies, still nothing.
Any ideas? Is there some sort of security precaution in place, somehow? Thanks...Hi
These types of questions are best asked/addressed in forums frequented by web developers. This forum mostly addresses Safari issues from a User Experience, rather than attempting to untangle web coding. Perhaps this Mac-related forum may be a better outlet for your question, or if not there, at least pose the question about where you can get additional help.

this pop up comes up any old time, not when i'm clicking another link or anything - i can just be reading a page, or be on facebook, anything, and it comes up and suggests something out of the blue, like "search for your local state college doctors on yellowbook". (example: here is a URL it just brought up in a popup while i was just reading facebook: http://ypeek.yellowbook.com/yellow-pages/?what=doctors&where=state+college%2C+pa)
I definitely did NOT download anything from Yellowbook and in fact NEVER use it, so that makes this very strange. Also, my brother-in-law (a computer programmer) ran software checks on my computer and cleaned everything up, and there were no viruses, etc. but this still happens.

Wheel on ipod won't work- buttons are fine- can't scroll to select- help!
The ability to move up and down, and search through options and songs will not work on my ipod, because using the "spinny" motion on the circle thing won't work. AKA when I turn on my ipod I'm forced to select "music" and then "coverflow" and that's it.
All of the buttons work, it still plays music, my ipod is fully charged,and there is no indication of water damage.
Please help!- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Reset does not fire NavigationEvent - is this intended behaviour?
