I can block pop-ups, but not allow new windows in Firefox 4

After upgrading to Firefox 4, I can block pop-ups (except
those I wish to allow) just fine, but I can't find a way to
allow website links to open new windows -- I always get
a message that Firefox prevented the new window, with
an "Allow" button. I want to allow them all. How can I
do this? Thanks.

'''Scan for Malware'''
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try some of the following programs to scan for malware:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] (A good permanent anti-virus if you don't already have one)
Further information can be found in the [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]] article.
'''Reset Firefox'''
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

  • Active Directory User which can Create a User but not Allowed to Enable Disabled Users

    Hi Guys, we have a requirement to create a User Group in Active Directory which will grant its members permission to 'Create Users' but not be allowed to 'Enable' 'Disabled Users'.
    We have tried delegating control and assigning permissions by going to 'Security Tab>Advanced'.
    It seems like when a group is granted permission to create users, it will also be allowed to enable, disabled users.
    Kindly advise if it is possible to create a user group with permissions to 'Create Users' but not be allowed to 'Enable', 'Disabled Users'.

    Hi,
    According to my experience, you can assign permission with create/delete user objects. If you want to disable/enbale
    a user, you must be a member of the Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority.
    In general, if you just give a user group the permission to create user objects, it cannot disable or enable user accounts. Please make sure that the permission you assigned is correct and the
    user group are not the member of Account Operators group, Domain Admins group, or the Enterprise Admins group in Active Directory.
    Best regards,
    Susie

  • I have set the Firefox to block pop-ups, but I still receive annoying popups when visiting websites.

    I go to Option > Content, and then tick the box "Block pop-up windows", but I still receive popups when I visit websites like kojaxx.com and bookmarkitnow.com. Why?

  • Firefox 8.0.1 does not allow new windows (mac OS 10.6.8)

    Just upgraded from 8.0 and the browser will only allow one window at a time.

    thanks so much, problem solved, Firefox at best as usual!

  • How can I allow pop-ups even after "Block pop-ups" is NOT checked?

    When I'm on the Google Drive website (https://drive.google.com/) and I click Create > Document, I get the following message:
    "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page."
    My only options on the far right are "Allow", and "[X]" to exit.
    The URL for any new document starts with "https://docs.google.com/".
    Seeing as creating a new Google document forces a new tab to open, I felt that this would fall under "pop-up windows".
    Help, please!

    This is not because of a blocked popup.<br>
    This is an accessability setting.
    You can turn this off, by following these steps:
    #Go to the Firefox Options
    #Select the General Tab
    #Uncheck the Warn me when websites try to reload...
    Please report back soon.

  • I can't open a wmv. video sent to me via email.  I can on my laptop, but not my new ipad

    Why can't I open a wmv. video sent in an email?

    WMV or Windows Media Video is not a natively supported video format on an iPad.
    You need to download an App that can play that video format.

  • Exceptions for blocking pop-ups

    Hi
    Firefox has the ability to include exceptions for blocking pop=ups but Safari does not have this ability. This is useful for a few sites that I visit regularly.
    Is there a plug-in that provides this ability?
    thanks Colin

    Same here. This "all-or-none" approach is really inadequate, even if you can toggle it on and off with command-K. It's annoying to have to keep changing it all the time.

  • How can I set that pop-ups open in a new tab insted of new page/window?

    Dear Firefox Representative,
    I'm a regular Firefox user. Since I updated to Firefox 4, all pop-ups open in a new window insted of a new tab. Altough I set in the settings that new pages should open in new tabs, all pop-ups show up in new resized windows with the new firefox.
    Thanks for any help,
    Tib

    You can use JavaScript for this. For example:
    app.launchURL("http://www.adobe.com", true);
    More information is in the Acrobat JavaScript reference. Note that this method is new to Acrobat 7. You can still use Acrobat 5 to create the JavaScript, but it won't work for versions less than 7, or for most users of non-Adobe PDF viewers. If you go this route, you should add some code that checks the version of Acrobat (Reader), and only execute the above code if 7 or above.

  • Allowed pop ups but safari won't open my Uni website. It just opens a fresh blank page? Using sim not wifi would this have something to do with it?

    I have a new iPad and am trying to open my Uni website. I have allowed pop ups but it just opens a new blank page. I'm using a sim not wifi, would this have anything to do with it?

    Thanks again ...
    This trouble is fairly new as I just got my MacBook Pro.  It's been going on for 2 weeks or so.  Prior to the MacBook I was using my old PC laptop and never had any difficulty.
    Nobody else seems to be having this problem at school and IT is completely unhelpful.  I've been told that nothing's wrong with the uni's internet/network, it's my laptop. 
    Could it be that the uni's network doesn't recognize my new Mac's IP address (I think that's right) and for some reason is blocking access?
    As for the VPN idea - I think I get it.  Can I set that up myself?

  • Can't seem to block pop ups on my Imac

    Hello i have an Imac osx 10.6.8. My current browsers are Safari, Chrome and Firefox. For some reason no matter which browser i use i always get pop ups. I have checked on all of them and have made certain that there block pop ups feature was enabled. But still i get pop ups. The only thing i can think of is that all of this started when i started watching Hulu on my computer. Any help would be awesome. Thanks again.

    The current trend is for Downlite to be causing them, although there are other possibilities.
    For that : see
    You installed the "DownLite" trojan
    or
