FireFox 7 javascript window.moveto not working

When I create and then open an html file with FireFox 7, the window does not resize or move. This is the html in the file I open:
<script language="javascript">
window.location = 'http://www.google.com';
window.outerWidth = 1024;
window.outerHeight = 1136;
window.moveTo(0,0);
window.close;
</script>
I create a file google.html with the above html data.
I open it using:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" '-new-window google.html
FireFox opens the webpage, but does not move or resize the window. This worked before I upgraded from FireFox 6 to FireFox 7.

Aside from capriciously damaging Firefox in this way being VERY inconvenient, it DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS the settings option for
Firefox>Preferences>Content>Enable JavaScript>Advanced !
I.e. FF7 Preferences implies that users CAN allow such [usefuil!] javascript windows resizing/repositioning ... while FF7 refuses to allow users that control!
BLEGH!

  • Downloading a pdf file from javascript() window does not work

    PDF download/view works fine where the link points to actual pdf file. But I have problem downloading/viewing pdf files that are loaded using javascript(), e.g. bank statements and such. When I click a link FF downloads a file which either has no extension or has a different one (not .pdf).
    Later I realized that I can manually rename the downloaded file to insert .pdf extension and open it in reader.
    How can I solve this? I don't have this problem when using IE or Chrome.
    Thanks

    Could you try a new profile?
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Creating a profile":
    https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    If it still happens with a new and clean profile then the most likely cause is that you have security software that is blocking this JavaScript.

  • Firefox Browser window will not open or start.

    Sorry that this is long, but I wanted to make sure you knew as much as you needed to know.
    I click on the icon in my Windows taskbar, and the firefox browser window will not open.
    This was not the first of my problems. At first, Firefox would open immediately, but soon afterward, it began to slow, and soon, it took around 10-15 seconds for the browser window to start.
    Now it won't start at all.
    I will admit that I go all addon-happy on Firefox, but these extensions have never been a problem before. Here is the list:<br />
    <pre>ReaditLater
    ReloadEvery (this one doesn't work anymore, but I did have it once)
    Ookong
    PriceBlink
    StumbleUpon
    SimilarWeb
    WOT
    XMarks (I didn't use it much)
    NoScript (I recently uninstalled that one, but that might have a factor in it. That thing was WAY too powerful!)
    CoolIris
    CoolPreview
    AdHacker
    AdBlock
    AdBlockPlus
    PersonasExpression
    AntBar
    ABE (I'm not sure if this was an extension, but I know that there was
    alot of security-type addons from the Paranoid Kit, which is a
    list of addons on the addons webpage.)
    </pre>
    Oh yeah, one more thing! <br />
    I recently installed a GameVance installation thing. I'm not sure what it did, but could've had a virus in it that surpassed my security. I use Avast, if that's important at all. That thing was hard to uninstall, so I had to go back to the site to get the uninstallation software.
    I tried to use the firefox.exe -ProfileManager thing, but it kept crashing, so it was useless.
    Please help me fix this. I love Firefox. It's the only browser that allowed you to use the most addons! Plus, ALL MY STUFF IS ON THERE! I'd hate to have to change browsers (and I REFUSE to use Internet Explorer!)

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br />

  • Thought Firefox upgrade would fix problem of not being able to download YouTube videos. It did not. May I suggest that you use Explorer instead. Firefox live chat is not working either.

    Firefox and YouTube do not work well together. USE EXPLORER INSTEAD to download videos.

    Carolyn:
    I just now did exactly as you recommended. Result? No change.
    Even after trashing the files and restarting and everything else, the Activity Window and YouTube behave exactly as they did before.
    (I had actually previously tried something very similar to your recommendation, and it didn't have any effect then either.)
    In case it's helpful, here's an example of what one of the mystery components that load endlessly in the Activity Window is listed as:

  • Popups: Navigation from view to window does not work

    Hi,
    I open a second window as popup. This window has 2 views embedded, displaying view1 first. On some actions I would like to navigate to view2.
    Defining an outbound plug on view1 and an inbound plug on view2, connecting them and firing the outbound withith the onaction works absolutely fine.
    However, for some reasons I would like to avoid a direct navigation, but would like to navigate from view1 to the popupo window and from there to view2 (or maybe another view, ofcourse also embedded in the same popup window). Unfortunately I fail on this scenario - I can fire the view-to-window plug, but the destination on the window side (handle in method) is never reached.
    Since the same concept works fine on non-popup windows I wonder whether a navigation from view to embedded window does not work for popups?
    Any idea?

    Hi Yashpal,
    no, just one window.
    The first link is view1 -> window, the second window -> view2.
    I.e., I fire in the view the outbound plug, which is connected with its window.
    In the window I fire an outbound plug, which is connected to view2.
    In theory this should work - for non-popup windows I do not have any problem at all, however, for popup windows the navigation from view1 to the window is not processed.
    In the meantime I played a little bit further: Instead of firing a navigation from view1, I now fire an event defined in the component contoller, on which an event method is registered within the window. Doing so, I reach the window, which I didn't reach via the navigation link. Once in the window, firing to view2 works just fine ...
    Hope the issue is a bit clearer now. Also I found a solution, I am surprised that the simpler way via navigation does not work.

  • Same issue Network Discovery not working and Windows Update not working

    I've read the threads. 
    This is a Vista Ultimate upgrade. My OOOOH My I have clocked 8 hours
    Everything was working before. I tried all of the recommended  services turning on restarting.
    Also, ran into the problem of my memory being eaten. Suspected cause hibernate mode, which I had to disable. Scott Hasselman blog recommended the fix which is a cheap work around that limits machines functionality!!
    I'm and IT Engineer specializing in MS product lines since Windows 1.0. MFC foundation classes etc.. What is the real problem ?
    I don't have the NetBIOS over tcp/ip in my services?
    I figure that the cost of my time and other individuals pays for the OS four times over. Give me a Microsoft developer subscription or something to make me happy. This is my development machine and I'm loosing time and money.
    FYI, Just upgraded my second machine to Windows 8.1 OMG !!2 Hours to upgrade after the download. I loose my configuration settings. I required to have a Windows Live whatever account!!! This is not the way to compete and keep customers.
    Windows XP has been by far the best deployment experience. I need a Knowledge base that gives solutions , not a troubleshooting scenario that does or does not work!!
    Please , don't tell me to go and by a OEM Surface I cannot recommend this to my clients.

    Hi,
    If it worked previously, a quick solution is to run System Restore and get back to the previous status when the issue didn’t occur.
    What is System Restore?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/What-is-System-Restore
    When you turn on network discovery, do you get any error prompt?
    Please check if you have any error message about network discovery in event viewer.
    Open Event Viewer
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-Event-Viewer
    What information appears in event logs (Event Viewer)?
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/What-information-appears-in-event-logs-Event-Viewer
    Please use Windows Live SkyDrive (http://www.skydrive.live.com/) to upload the Error logs to a public folder and share the URLs with us.
    Also, please temporarily turn off your firewall and all the security programs for a test.
    As far as I know, Network discovery requires that the DNS Client, DNS Client, Network Connections, Network Location Awareness,  Remote Procedure Call (RPC), Function Discovery
    Resource Publication, TCP/IP Netbios helper, SSDP Discovery, and UPnP Device Host services are started and set to automatic.
    You should check again if you have started all these services.
    Regarding the update issue, I suggest you try the following suggestions.
    1. Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus program to test the issue.
    2. Open the Windows Update troubleshooter
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Open-the-Windows-Update-troubleshooter
    3. Reset Windows Update components

  • Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first., Windows updates not working because it extract patches on Mac partition first.

    I have installed BootCamp 5.1 and Windows updates not working because it extract files on Mac partition before installation. Is there any workaround for same ?

    To replicate this issue - Try to download .net framework 4.5 from microsoft website and than run that setup on windows partition.
    Before installation. it will first extract all the binaries to a other drivers, since in my case other primary drive is E which is a Mac partition so it always give me an error while extractiing and therefore setup is not able to execute propely.

    vine.co can not watch videos on other browsers do not have the problem with firefox firefox there just did not work, delete cookies, history

    I think this problem may be caused by Yahoo's changes making it incompatible with the klatest version of FireFox.
    This is suddenly affecting many many people who use Firefox and are members of Yahoo Groups. All these people say they themselves changed nothing and have not been locked out before when using Firefox. But suddenly, within the last week, they are.
    What did Mozilla do or what did Yahoo do to cause this problem? I can say that I was not blocking cookies and after trying a number of things to fix it, I went to Yahoo's home page and navigated to my group from here.
    This problem is not anything a user did. Either Firefox is at fault or Yahoo is. I want to know which company is at fault and when they are going to fix it.
