Firefox opens up Downloads-window when scanning a barcode

Hello all!
Almost every time when I use my usb barcode scanner (Champtek WAND barcode reader) to scan a barcode on an online banking site, Firefox opens up the Downloads-window. So I figure that somehow Firefox thinks that I have pressed CTRL+J - how could I change this behaviour, eg. to completely disable that CTRL+J keyboard shortcut or change it to something else?
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I was having the same problem. The thing is that you have to configure the barcode scanner and not the browser.
My barcode scanner was typing a CR (carriage return) + LF (line feed) at the end of each scan. I configured it to do only a CR (carriage return) per scan. It's the same as an "Enter" in the browser. After configuring, the browser stopped that CTRL+J behaviour.
You can read your manufacturer's manual to learn how to change this.

  • Firefox opens the download window multiple times as I'm typing in a query on Google.

    I can't get through typing in a query on Google without Firefox opening the box that would appear if I'd clicked on a "download" link. It opens a download called "search." It happens multiple times as I type in my query as Google Instant searches for it. It makes me unable to keep typing until I click cancel on these windows, sometimes up to 30 times.

  • Firefox opens an empty window when macbook wakes from sleep.

    Firefox 31 is active and I close the Lid of my MacBook air. when opening the LID sometime (1 hour?) later an empty windowframe appears. The address-bar is unresponsive. The situation cures itself after a minute or so.

    Hi hstoeri,
    This has not happened to me before, but in the past I have seen threads that have narrowed it down to hardware acceleration.
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
    #* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Wy does firefox open a new window when i click on "open link on a new tab"?????

    the only time i shutdown a window is when i shutdown firefox.
    having mutiple windows invites to mistakes. please fix.

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[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.

  • When I try to follow a hyperlink, Firefox opens a new window that stays blank.; also I can't download a hyperlinked file.

    I recently bought a laptop that is equipped with Windows 7. I needed new drivers for my Canon printer and was able to locate the new software on their website. When I tried to activate the hyperlink, Firefox opened a new window with the proper address in the "window". however the window stayed blenk. Similar actions with IE yielded desired results.
    I got the same "dead end" when I tried to download a form from Mozilla; again IE worked fine.

    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.

  • Why does Firefox stop opening new browser windows when "Sync" is running?

    I downloaded and installed Firefox Sync v1.4 to my Firefox v.3.6.10
    While Sync is running, Firefox will not open a new window when I do any of the following:
    * Click "New Window" from the File menu.
    * Click "Open in a new window" from right-clicking a tab.
    * Click a link with JavaScript to open the target in a new window.
    No error messages, just no action. I updated Sync to the newest version 1.5 but the problem still exists. Disabling either version in the Add-ons window "fixed" the problem. Is there a setting that causes this problem? Are others experiencing this same problem?

    Firefox 3.5 versions and later have a feature called tear-off tabs.<br />
    You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.<br />
    You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

  • I just updated to 4.0.1 and I get the "We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts" However, it just keeps popping back up, firefox never restarts!!!

    This morning I had a popup on my Windows XP PC stating that the 4.0.1 update was available. I upgraded. now, i receive the following error: We're sorry. Firefox had a problem and crashed. We will try to open your tabs/windows when Firefox restarts. You can submit crash report data, blah blah blah (which i have submitted several)
    But, firefox DOES NOT ever open. It just pops back up with that same report window, over and over.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new window when I go to a search item?

    When I do a search, and click on a topic, Firefox opens a new window on the tool bar at the bottom of my screen. How can I stop this from happening?

    I'm guessing you use Google for search. There is a setting in Google search to open each result in a new window. (When you use tabbed browsing, that means each result opens in a new tab.) You can check on whether you have that setting turned on as follows:
    On a Google results page, click the button on the right side with the "gear" icon, then click Search Settings from the drop-down list. At the bottom of the page is the setting to open results in a new window.
    Is that the culprit?

  • After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

    After restarting my computer firefox is deleted for Windows, when i try to open firefox a message pops up saying the program has been moved from its original location and is unable to run How do I get Firefox on my computer permanently?

    I have tried everything I could to fix this, but some things require actually being on Firefox, and since I cannot get on, I cannot click on the tabs to do it. I have even totally uninstalled firefox, and that has not fixed this. I still get the same message that firefox is running and I need to close it or restart (which I have also tried dozens of times). I have removed things like Java, and that has not helped either. If I cannot even get on line in firefox, how can I fix this. I am not crazy about using internet explorer, but right now, it is my only option. I even tried to start in safe mode, and the same message box pops up!

    I knew I'd seen the solution you've provided somewhere - either in MacWorld or MacFormat - but couldn't remember the Gatekeeper bit!
    I shall save it somewhere VERY safe now in case this happens again …
    You have made an old man very happy and saved me from worrying that senile decay had suddenly set in. (I was 70 last week so you might understand the situation from that.)

  • When I downloaded firefox, it also downloaded McAffee Security Scan Plus. Why? Is this going to interfere with my other anti-virus?

    downloaded firefox and also downloaded McAffee Security Scan Plus.
    Why? Will it interfere with my other anti-virus

    Where did you download Firefox from? It does not come with McAfee Security Scan if you download it from http://www.mozilla.com/ - it has no extra applications included.
    Are you sure it was not a plugin that included the McAfee Security Scan, for example the Adobe Flash plugin will by default include it.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".
