Firefox is blocking too many pop-ups, eliminating some essential pics

When I go into Ebay or Paypal there are pop-ups being blocked. My pics on Ebay listings are not appearing in Firefox, do appear in other browsers.

All you have to do is add those sites to your exceptions. You can find the instructions [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-ups&as=s#w_pop-up-blocker-settings here].

Too many pop-ups

I can't even look at a website...any website because the pop-ups won't go away. I close them and they come right back. I have deleted everything from my computer that is not necessary to run the software I have but nothing helps. The pop-ups are about Java, Windows drivers and some vieo player thing. I don't trust them. What should I do?

hello, you may have malicious addons present. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Blocking the remaining pop-ups

I know Apple says I can "block the vast majority" of pop-ups just through the Safari menu. I've done that. The problem is that there are so many pop-ups I still have to work around a pretty vast minority of them.
Are there any good downloads (or any other solutions) that will block unwanted pop-ups in Safari (currently using 4.0.4) without interfering with user-intended webpage activities?

Some popups are better able to be blocked by Firefox, or Camino than Safari. I'd try a variety of Mac web browsers on the websites you visit the most often, and choose the one that has the best combination of features and ability to visit websites you need*:
http://www.macmaps.com/browser.html
Note some popup addons such as PthHelmet have a tendency to break with Mac operating system updates, and need a followup update to be compatible, so be careful if you add things to Safari that might break later on. Be aware of whether or not they work with specific browser/operating system updates before applying those updates.
Of course you can always write the webmaster of the website in question threatening to stop doing business with them if they don't stop putting up popups and popunders.

I have enabled pop-blocker but still pop-ups are getting opened.

Hi Team,
I have enabled pop-blocker but still pop-ups are getting opened.
New browser gets opened automatically in various windows.
Can you please help me?

Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Firefox crashes when too many (3) tabs/windows open

Firefox crashes if too many tabs (3) are opened, if 2 browser windows are open, in Yahoo mail (deleting npYState.dll did not fix it) and does not give me a crash report. Internet explorer is not having problems like this.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== After downloading 3.6.6

Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
Or you can go to '''Start''' and type in the Vista search box '''%APPDATA%''' then click on '''Roaming''' then go to '''Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted''' then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with '''bp-xxxxx-xxxx'''

I have recently gotten many pop-ups with my blockers on.

I thought this was from a virus because it started when we found a virus or infection "acer arcade" a week ago and it was very hard to get out of the computer. I got everything out and the computer says it is totally clean of viruses but I am still getting pop ups with my blockers on. Is there something the computer can't see or is there something i need add on from firefox??? The pop ups come about every 5 minutes and it is very annoying!!!

I have mistakenly allowed pop-ups on a particular website. How do I change this to block or disallow pop-ups? Can it be changed back?

While I was in a website, I had a message to allow, block etc pop-ups but I think I may have mistakenly pressed 'allow'. I wish to change a pop-up allowability. Can it be changed back?

# Click the orange Firefox button or, if the application menu is enabled, click '''Tools''' followed by '''Options'''
# Click on the '''Content''' icon/category
# Next to where it says ''Block popup windows ''click the '''Exceptions''' button
# Select the site for which you wish to revoke the exception then click the '''Remove Site''' button

So many pop ups

I have a 2013 MacBook Pro running Mavericks and have been getting a crazy number of pop-ups on both Chrome and Safari. I am running ad blocking add ons and some still sneak by. Even sites that never usually have pop ups have issues. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

You may have installed malicious software.
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Too much pop-ups on Safari :(

It started the other day. I don't know what I did different but that's when the pop-ups started coming up. Just like a few minutes ago, when I clicked "Log in" here, a new pop-up tab showed up. I can't stand it anymore. Whenever I click on something, it's either a pop-up will come up from the lower left of the screen or it'll just open up in a new tab.
All the pop-ups are blocked.
Help please, thanks!

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Firefox crashes when too many images are opened

Okay, so, a problem that appeared in 4.0 for me, and hasn't gone away ever since.
The problem is basically summarized in the short description - whenever too many heavy images are in the browser's tabs simultaneously, it slows down to a halt; then sometimes as I scroll it fails to redraw the page, with black non-redrawn area increasing as I scroll and disappearing as I change tabs back and forth.
After a dozen seconds of such sad behaviour, the browser crashes.
Sometimes, however, things go better. And it just crashes.
The problem can be easily replicated with Save Images extension, say, on any photo hosting, or by opening
http://danvolodar.livejournal.com/friends/big_picture
It should be noted that 3.6 never had that problem, and opened pages where I aggregated thousands of images, - slowly, of course, but it ''did'' work. 4 and 5 do ''not''.

Go to the address '''about:crashes''' and tell us your latest crash IDs. We can then look at the data specific to your crash and have a better idea of what is causing the problem.
Or you can go to '''Start''' and type in the Vista search box '''%APPDATA%''' then click on '''Roaming''' then go to '''Mozilla>Firefox>Crash Reports>Submitted''' then open the .txt files and copy the Crash report ID that starts with '''bp-xxxxx-xxxx'''

Blocking ads and pop ups

Have the newer version of the WSA give us the option not to display an message when an ad or pop up is blocked?
I have asked about this before and I thought that is was in the blueprints for a future release I just wanted to see if is has been done.
I get a lot of complaints that websites are being blocked and really its just ads and pop ups.Other url filters that I have used in the past for ads and pop ups dont display this ad or pop up has been blocked message.
Thanks

Just FYI ... we currently acheive this by using a custom (redirected from ironport) block page for all of our block messages. We then design this .asp block page to display differently depending on what fields are passed to it in the URL. If the category=Advertisements, then the block page appears as a simple white page with the text "This advertisement has been intentionally blocked ... "
This also allows us to design custom 504, 503 pages etc, as well as different block pages depending on the user's IP address range.
Can you share with us how you did this, I am new to the IronPort and have some .asp experience. I would like to know how to blank out the ad pages and have a message come up for the other blocked pages. Thanks!

1and1 Webmail signing out only on this computer, won't sync, blocking non-existant pop-ups & windows

My webmail is auto signing me out several times a day, but only on this computer. It's set for 'private', I've uninstalled and reinstalled that program, cleared cache and re-started, same thing with Firefox.
Firefox is also frequently blocking pages from opening that apparently don't exist, and blocking non-existent pop-up windows as well.
Today I got an error message that my sync password was rejected, which is odd since it's set to manually sync and nothing's been changed. All the resets happened days ago. It also wouldn't let me use my password, but let me change it.
Since this is the only computer I'm having the problems on I'm assuming that it's either the version of Firefox that I'm using or something in my computer that suddenly isn't playing nice with Firefox, but I don't know where to start, other than once again un and re-installing it (which did nothing).
Thanks for any help!

I kept getting that error message. I thought that since I'm syncing with my corporate email so the calendar syns wirelessly with Outlook, that it was causing a conflict.
I just found this post though, and other people said it worked for them

How can I stop Safari pop up ads for my iPad air? Pop ups are for apps and it redirects me to various app stores. My Safari block pop ups is already activated; have reset my iPad numerous times; cleared cookies and data; cookies blocked from third party advertisers and it still no help.

If you're getting ads while browsing sites that should not contain ads, that's going to be a network problem of some kind.
More likely, though, you're getting ads that are normal for the sites you're visiting, in which case you should take this as a sign that those sites are crap and should be avoided. Alternately, if you're getting pop-up ads in certain apps, you just need to either buy the full, ad-free version of that app or quit using the app.

Firefox 4 opens TOO many empty windows on starting the browser!

Every time I open up Firefox 4 a BUNCH of empty windows load up with my LAST 'remembered' tabs. SO I have ONE window with all my tabs intact.. and then like 13 EMPTY windows and this happens EVERY time I start up firefox. I have tried everything from using the about:config and changing that one browser tab setting to 'true'... I took out the mimeTypes.rdf from the Application Basics section I even tried UNINSTALLING and REINSTALLING firefox.. I'm SO tired of all these empty windows does ANYONE know what could cause this? I also ran a 'malware' check and I have NONE. I have honestly done EVERYTHING to try to fix this... just wondering if anyone ELSE is experiencing this and if anyone else has ANY other advice! I'm about ready to switch to Google Chrome.. I don't want to! So ANY help/advice would be appreciated! Thank you!!

Hi cor-el,
I think I've seen your answer before on OTHER questions like this one that I asked... The '''STRANGEST''' thing is.. yesterday it opened up '''PERFECTLY''' with NO problems.. then TODAY.. when I opened it.. it actually for SOME reason remembered this 'adobe' page I was on that I KNOW I closed and OTHER windows again.. and it just seems like a MESS now any time I reopen.. like... ''EACH time ''will be a SURPRISE as to what I will SEE in the tabs or extra empty windows...
BEFORE I attempt this... (I didn't WANT to when I saw you post this before) but NOW I think I MAY have NO CHOICE.. but BEFORE I try this...
Can you ''PLEASE'' tell me what you mean by... 'REDO App Tabs and Tab Groups'?? I don't understand what that means? How DO I do that?? I'm sorry I checked the link under there and I FEEL totally '''confused'''! If you have a 'short cut' way of explaining this I would LOVE to know and '''''appreciate''''' your time and help.. if not, I understand as I'm SURE it's a bit of explaining...
I just DO NOT understand why this is happening in the FIRST place? HOW did it START and what the HECK did I DO to make this happen? And why is it, that it seems like NOT too many people HAVE this issue?
Anyways, thanks for your time.. and
ANYONE ELSE''' if you have annnnnnnnnnnnnny IDEAS please let me know or if anyone has heard '''ANYTHING''' else about this '''ANNOYING''' situation!
Sincerely,
'''FRUSTRATED '''Firefox USER (Shivonne) :(
