Firefox shows wrong page when application opens a new window

Only fails since V4.0.0 installed.
pages that open a new window using window.open(url) sometimes produce a page from cache instead of the page to be loaded. This seems erratic. Often, failure starts after a popup window loads and is closed, then attempts to open a different popup will produce the first page contents (or the default home page) instead of the page requested. Seems as tho there is a bug in FF determination of whether to fetch page from cache or new. Tried setting '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''' to 1 and while that seemed to help, it did not resolve all the errant behavior.

To restore the original behavior, you could try removing the explicit site-specific permission by deleting the site from this dialog:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content > "Exceptions" button to the right of Block pop-up windows
Does that work?
Also, I don't recognize this part:
''At the bottom of the window would be the URL address(es) of the popup page(s), so that if I wanted to access a page, I could simply click on the address and a new tab would open with the new page.''
Oh, wait a minute, I just reviewed your "More system details" list again and it appears that you have a custom pop-up handler:
* Extension: Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.7
* Modified setting: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage: False
So if the above reset doesn't resolve it, you might need to review the add-on's settings in case it has its own list.

  • My speaker volume is on and when I open a new window, a voice telles me so! make it stop!

    I installed firefox 9 and now when I open a new window and with the volume on, a voice tells me what I am doing! I want to turn it off!

    You probably have the Mac VoiceOver feature turned on. If you turn off VoiceOver by going to the universal access pane of system preferences.

  • I want my home page to open when I open a new window.

    I set up my home page and all is fine, but when I open a new window, the page that opens is a generic BING page, and I have to click on the home button to get the home page to appear. Is there a way to set firefox to always open my home page?

    Type '''about:preferences#general'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    There are two settings;
    * '''When Firefox Starts'''
    When the browser is started, what do you want to
    display. Many of us choose '''Show My Home Page.'''
    * '''Home Page'''
    When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
    # '''Use Current Page'''. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
    # '''Use Bookmark'''
    # '''Restore To Default.''' about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
    You can use any of these that you wish;
    '''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
    '''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
    '''about:blank''' (a blank page),
    or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about:''' page you want.

  • New problem, Lycos Mail is my home page. When I open a new window I usually get Google search, which is what I want. Now, somehow when I open a new window I get Yahoo search. How do I change it back to Google? Thank you, Randy

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • How can I make firefox give the focus (the cursor) to the address bar when I open a new window - as it does when I open a new tab (to about:blank)?

    When I open a new tab using CTRL-T, the address/awesome bar has the focus.
    When I open a new window using CTRL-N, it does not.
    Can the behaviours be made consistent via setting a configuration option or key?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello wodow, please check it in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#firefox:linux:fx27 safe mode], do you have the same behaviour ? DO NOT reset, select "Start in Safe Mode".

  • When I open a new window, it doesn't attach itself to the bottom toolbar? I'm using XP Pro and Firefox 6.0.2.

    It's explained pretty well in my initial question. Not sure what else you would need in the way of details.
    I will say it's been going on for a month or so, and it happens every time I start Firefox, and every time I open a new window.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave an answer for me, Poochie1. I really appreciate your attempt at helping me.
    Unfortunately, as smart as I thought I was when I asked the question, I apparently wasn't that smart, because I didn't explain my problem so you'd know what the heck I was talking about.
    I think it's because I'm probably not using the correct terminology. I'll try again.
    When I open a new window, it just kind of floats on the screen. Before this new update, I could open a window and it was lined up with the start taskbar located at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes the new window will cover up the taskbar partially, and sometimes completely. I have to move it up and align it with the taskbar. Then, when I open another new window, I have to line that one up with the window underneath it.
    I hope that description is better than my first one, and I hope you can make some sense out of it, Poochi (and anyone else who happens by here).
    Again, thank you for your help.

  • How do I change the default page when I open a new tab or window?

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [[/questions/872056]]</blockquote>
    I recently downloaded a piece of software to translate languages. I removed the software, but remnants still appear. It changed my homepages (which I was able to change back). But, when I open a new window or tab, the search page associated with this software comes up.

    When I open a new window (Ctrl+N), I want a blank page to appear. I do not want my home pages opened. How can I do that?

    A new window opens by default with the home page(s).<br />
    If you want a blank window then you need to open an about:blank page in a new window.<br />
    You can do that with a bookmark that you open with a Shift+ left-click in a new window.<br />
    Otherwise you need to set the Home page to a blank page and use a bookmark to open the preferred Home page in a new tab.

  • All minized firefox windows open when I open a new window

    I have several firefox windows open and minimized. When I try to open a new firefox window, all the minimized windows open and are displayed. I am running firefox 8. How can I correct this so that the minimized window remain minimized when I open a new window?
    Running Windows XP.

    That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly (possibly Ask.com toolbar).
    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.

  • History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying.

    History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying

    If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf<br />
    (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
    Note:<br />
    Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.<br />
    You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.<br />
    Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.<br />

  • When I open a new window, the spinner does not stop, or the window open

    I have a MBP 3 yrs. old, running Snow Lep. When I open a new window, the spinner in the address bar spins and window does not open unless I click on the X and stop the spinner. Some times this doesn't work either. It just hangs up trying to open the next window.

    The given are very little details about your problem so please elaborate. 
    2. on each page load you have to verify whether the session variable. if "IsLoggedIn" exists and its value is "true" then you can show the requested page otherwise redirect to login page.
    if(Session["IsLoggedIn"] == null || Session["IsLoggedIn"] != "true")
    Response.Redirect("login.aspx");
    Better way: use a master page. In the load_page event, check the session. Thus, you wouldn't need to write the method to check in every page, just in the master page.
    Noam B.
    Do not Forget to Vote as Answer/Helpful, please. It encourages us to help you...
    Masterpage is a better idea.
    But The login page shouldn't use MasterPage OR need to have logic to check before redirecting to login page if you are already in Login page.
    Otherwise you will get into Recursive Redirection error.
    hope this helps.

    Back up all data.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    defaults delete com.apple.dock single-app && killall Dock
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    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.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal. Test.

  • Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

    Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
    And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
    It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

    I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
    Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
    Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
    I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
    Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
    On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
    ++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

    Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?
