    Just un-check BLOCK POP-UP WINDOWS and reload the page.

  • How do I stop about blank pop ups that are caused by Firefox? These are blocked ny my virus protection and ar

    Ok my virus protection, I use Kaspersky, is detecting a packer every time I try to load Farmville on Facebook. This results in the game reloading over and over again. These pop up quickly with about blank in the address but nothing else. The path for this leads to Firefox...C:\Users\Toshiba\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\yipb6gme.default\Cache\C\4D\C1121d01. This was the last one shown in the list. It's a Swf2Swc. Today I have 24 at various times with 2 to 3 each time I tried to load Farmville. When my virus protection stopped them Farmville reloaded so I was never able to actually get into it.
    How can I stop these.
    Just so you know I did try safe mode with the same results

    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    Please report back soon.

  • How do I stop Strong Volt pop-ups!!!???

    How do I stop StrongVault from continually popping up?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

    Also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • How do you stop document tab pop-ups?

    When I move my cursor over a document tab that is too short to show the whole filename, a pop-up appears with the full filename.  The pop-up covers most of the tab, making it harder to click on it.  I'd like to turn off this feature.  I don't see anything in Preferences to do that.  Is it possible?

    Think this is how to disable info baloons.
    Open Windows Explorer>Tools>Folder Options>View tab
    Under Advanced Settings, scroll down to the last item "Show Pop-up
    description......." and uncheck it.  Click Apply and OK.

  • How do I stop Party Poker pop-ups

  • How can I stop App Store pop-ups every time I use my iPhone?

    It seems like every time I turn on my iPhone 4S lately, there is a window asking me if I would like to go to the App Store.  I have to click "OK" or "Cancel" before I can use the iPhone.  Extremely annoying.

    Actually, now that it's happened again (several times) I see that it actually says "iTunes store", not "App Store".

  • How do I stop firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a textbox?

    How do I stop Firefox from automatically placing the cursor in a text box? On certain pages such as Google.com the cursor will be moved to the search text box automatically after a couple seconds from the page loading. So I'll be typing in the address bar or something and then half of what I am typing in the address bar becomes cut off and starts being entered in the Google.com text box for search. The same happens on Facebook.com and the cursor is automatically moved to the Status Update text box. I assume this is a built in "feature" of the web page, but it's damn annoying. Especially when I start typing in my status update box on Facebook before the page completely loads and then halfway through typing (once the page is done loading) my cursor is moved to the starting position of the text area and my text is cut off.
    Just the be clear the actual mouse pointer isn't being moved, just the prompt for entering text.
    How can this be stopped?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Started since I can remember

    This problem has grown worse over the last couple of years. I use Firefox on Mac and Windows. I consider this problem to be a bug. Here's why: Event Driven interfaces, e.g., OSX and Windows, are never supposed to change typing-cursor focus WHILE SOMEONE'S TYPING!!!
    Firefox allows websites to change focus WHILE USERS TYPE!
    Hey, sorry for the caps, but I haven't used those for awhile and that's kind of fun. But really, more and more websites steal typing-cursor focus WHILE USERS TYPE.
    Efff them, but really, Eff Firefox for allowing this.
    It's almost like a symptom of our hyper scattered age where our attention jumps here and there.
    But really... I love Firefox, some of my best friends are Firefox, they're good people, don't get me wrong, but damn it, WHEN SOMEONE IS TYPING THE UNASSAILABLE RULE OF EVENT DRIVEN DESIGN IS NOTHING ELSE SHOULD CHANGE FOCUS WHILE SOMEONE IS TYPING!!!!
    FIX THIS PLEASE.
    Oh, I just ran out of capital letters. :) :) :)

  • I do not want to upgrade to 7.0, I am attending online college and the upgraded version does not work with my school. How can I stop Firefox from upgrading? I have to keep uninstalling the upgrade and installing the old one.

    How can I stop Firefox from automatically upgrading? My on-line college is not compatible with the upgraded version. I have to keep uninstalling the new one and reinstalling the old one.

    It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.
    But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).
    Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option.

  • How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?

    Simple and annoying. . Extremely frustrating issue with Firefox for Android. ..
    I watch a YouTube video or any flash video. . And after I hit play, the ONLY way to stop it is to hit pause or let it play to the end or close the tab. .
    It will NOT automatically stop if I open another tab. or if I navigate from Firefox. .
    I feel this is a very basic feature. Did I set something up that was wrong?
    Can I ask two questions?
    I have another extremely annoying and frustrating problem with Firefox for Android.
    The "top" (if you pull down the tabs) search bar DOES NOT allow my stock Samsung keyboard to auto space. . Thus instead of typing
    "How do I stop Firefox from playing video after I navigate from the page or leave Firefox?"
    I'll type in
    "HowdoIstopFirefoxfromplayingvideoafterInavigatefromthepageorleaveFirefox?"
    Unless I manually got the space bar.
    Using a recently factory data reset Samsung Galaxy s4 active.. android 4.2.2 and stock Samsung keyboard ... Firefox 34.0.1
    Thanks in advanced.
    Ps
    I was a hardcore xscope user for years and just recently gave in to Firefox when i lost all my bookmarks due to a forced factory data reset. .

    I'm using a different keyboard which works fine in the most top search bar...
    I cannot believe that it's not a feature.
    What if I was watching a video and wanted to shut it off quickly? I'll have to hit back? Wait for the previous screen to load then hit the power button?
    Please tell me that feature ids soon to come

  • How do i stop firefox from stopping automatic downloads of certain sites

    I have certain sites that FireFox will not let to download automatically. I keep clicking on allow and it will let the page download until I do this several times.
    How do I stop FireFox and Aurora from doing this?

    See:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • How do I stop Firefox from giving various options regarding log in info for a particular website?

    How do I stop Firefox from giving various options re log in info? By mistake I typed in my password at the end of my email address and want to stop this from popping up where, every time I go to log into this site, all can see the password tacked on to the end of the email address. I deleted the history and this does nothing, the next time I go to the site and begin to log in by typing my email address it automatically gives all the options from prior attempts, including the one that has my password tacked onto the email address for anyone to see

  • How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes?

    How do I stop Firefox from auto-focusing on text boxes? Sometimes as a page is loading, I scroll down the page...only to have the page jump back to where there is a text box, with a blinking cursor, after the page is finished loading. It is an annoying feature and I want to turn it off.

    Some pages use an onload event to set the focus to a text area or search field.
    You can try NoScript to see if that blocks it.

  • How do I stop Firefox from coming to the front automatically?

    This happens when Firefox is open in the back ground to a web site and I am working in another program in the foreground. If the web site that is open sends me a message (eg., a new email or message from someone), Firefox automatically comes to the front, interrupting whatever I am doing in the other program (eg., Word). How do I stop Firefox from automatically coming to the front?

    i have even turned off itunes helper in the log in menu.
    Did you remove iTunes Helper from your Login Items?
    If not, you need to remove it from the Login iTunes. Checking an item in your Login Items list hides the item during startup, it doesn't turn it off or not checking the item doesn't turn it off. You need to remove it from your Login Items list if not removed.
