How do I disable your irritating website blocker, or would I be better off with Safari?

i am trying to use 'ChessPro' on Facebook (a product I have been using for over 4 years), yesterday I couldn't call up a game without having to individually unblock a page, today each time I call up a game it creates a new web page and I cannot get back to the origianl Facebook page from there. Will you actually test your software in future rather than 'foisting' unwanted 'improvements' on your users?

Actually, Clippy was a feature of Microsoft Office, not Windows.
I tried a FB game someone else mentioned as a problem, and instead of loading in the FB context and showing the shield icon, it redirected me to the developer's site. I don't know whether this is an FB setting, or a Firefox setting, but I wasn't able to test it the time I tried.
Did you turn off the mixed content blocker? Do you recall making any other changes??
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Does that help?

  • How Do I Disable The Pop-Up Blocker to Upload Video to Facebook & Others?

    When I try to upload a video clip I shot of some 4th of July Fireworks to Facebook, I get the error message "In order to upload videos on your profile, Facebook needs to be able to create a pop-up window. Please disable your pop-up blocker or allow this page to create popups, then try again."
    I have uploaded to FB before, but apparently I've turned on the pop-up blocker. How do I turn it off? I am new to MAC from pc, so please have mercy and help me...
    Thanks

    Hi IamR.Ph.
    Unless you have a 3rd party blocker, Safari's built-in one can be disabled via the following method:
    In the top menu click Safari (to the right of the Apple logo) then click "Block Pop-Up Windows."
    If you see a check mark next to this then the blocker is enabled, if there's no check mark than the blocker is already disabled and something else is doing the blocking.

  • How do you disable your anti virus to update to 5.1?

    How do you disable your anti virus to update to 5.1? And is it on your computer or iPad?

    The iPad doesn't have antivirus, so it won't be on there. If you are downloading the update via your computer's iTunes then how you disable you antivirus and firewall software will depend upon what the software is - Kaspersky, Norton, McAfee, ... ? If you know whose it is then somebody on here might have the same software and be able to tell you.

    How do I disable the pop-up blocker for Android

    Hi kingkash :-)
    if you wish to disable Pop-ups, you can follow these instructions:
    Type about:config in the address bar
    Search dom.disable_open_during_load and set it to false
    To re-enable the Pop-up blocker, set dom.disable_open_during_load to true
    I hope you find this information useful.

    Re: Is Iphoto gone ? i want it back!
    in response to Johannes666

    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • I want to chat with Windows Fix-it Center on a matter & keep getting the message 'you must first disable your pop-up blocker', how do I do this?

    Not sure what other details that you are referring to.
    I've a message concerning an issue with my recycle bin. I wish to chat with Microsofts Windows Fix-it Center online. The message that they send says: 'you must first temporarily disable your browsers pop-up blocker to enable this chat'. Nothing more, nothing less, sounds simple & innocuous, right? All my question is, is how can I accomplish this???

    Virgin use the Optus network here in Australia - which is why, the 3G phones showed you connected to the Optus network, and not to the Virgin network...They don't have their own network, they piggyback on Optus - which is why it would show that it is locked to Optus!
    They also said they would unlock my iPhone 4 - which has been done!  So there's obviously something wrong with the phone...

  • How do I disable your annoying screen urging an update to a newer version of firefox?

    You are annoying me and it may cause me to delete Firefox and use another browser if you do not frankly and forthrightly answer my question and not skirt the issue and pretend you are addressing a question about auto-updates because that is not my question, which in fact is: How do I disable the window you have put on my home page that urges an upgrade to a newer version of Firefox? I simply want to keep the older version because I do not like your newer version, so don't end up like Avira (My former virus protection) and get replaced with a competing product merely because you have thoughtlessly gone overboard with the splash screen notifications. After all, I really do want to continue to say I like Firefox, not I used to like Firefox until... Put another way, its just like "A Few Good Men" Is this crystal?

    Upgrading to Firefox 12 is a '''HUGE security exposure''' because it bypasses UAC on Windows 7.
    I am staying with Firefox 11 and I would like to know how to disable the annoying UAC message triggered by Firefox Updater that pops up whenever I start Firefox.
    Thanks.

  • How do I disable my pop-up blocker on a Mac Pro?

    My son is taking a summer school course and he needs to disable the pop-up blocker.  Anyone know how to do this?

    It depends upon which application you are running. On later versions of Safari this option is in Safari, Preferences, Security.

  • How do I disable "Exceptions" button for "Block pop-up windows" in Content tab?. I am able to Disable other Exception buttons in this tab using about:config preference.

    Need a way to disable "Exception" button for "Block Pop-up windows" in Tools-> Options -> Content tab. I want to be able to do this for Locking Down Firefox preferences.
    == User Agent ==

    That button doesn't have a pref associated with it, so you can't disable that button with a pref on the about:config page or a lockPref call.
    That only leaves the choice to remove that button with code in userChrome.css

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You should then be able to sleect the Apps section of your library on that left-hand sidebar, click the 'Check For Updates' button at the bottom of it and download any available updates. Then connect your phone and select it on the sidebar, select its Apps tab on the right-hand side of iTunes, and click the Sync button at the bottom of it - that should copy any app updates over to it

    Delete the backup from iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and highlight the backup and click on delete. You have to do that after every sync. Also, make sure that you empty the recycle bin (PC) or trash (Mac) to really delete the backup.
    Also, in the future you can turn on Private browsings in Settings>Safari or go there and Clear History right before you sync.
