I get a pop-up window when I go to view some pages.

When I try to view gmail or search something using yahoo.com I get a pop-up window that says the following:
The page at http://news.search.yahoo.com says:
! 0
Sometimes I get other numbers and I have to click ok or try to close the pop-up window several times before it finally goes off the screen.

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.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I get a pop up window when leaving a site asking if I am sure I want to leave, the only way to get out is kill Firefox in task mgr but FF restarts the lockup

    On some sites I get a pop up window asking if I am sure I want to leave the site. The only option is to click on the pop up, nothing else works you cannot use back or even shutdown FF. I have to shut down with task manager, but when I restart FF it goes back to the locked up page.

    If you want to change how Firefox starts up after a crash, you have the option to have Firefox show a list of windows and tabs. Then you can deselect the tab you do not want opened again. Here's how to change the setting:
    (A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (C) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
    Note: Please don't customize any other sessionstore preferences to zero, or you might lose the ability to recover your closed windows and tabs.

    What OS? What Browser What version of Reader?

  • I get a blank popup window when clicking a link in some websites. I used to get info in the popup.

    I updated to FF 3.6 in early December. Since then there are some regular sites I visit that display a blank page when I click a link that used to have a popup window with the information.

    I do not see the Adobe Reader (PDF) plugin listed with your original question. To see the plugins submitted with your question, click "More system details..." to the right of your original question post. You can also see your plugins from the Firefox menu, Tools > Add-ons > Plugins.
    Try the following:
    #Close all Firefox windows, File > Exit
    #Click (Windows) Start > All Programs (or Programs) > Adobe Reader (Adobe Reader will open)
    #On the Adobe Reader menu, click Edit > Preferences > Internet
    #Under Web Browser Options, check the "Display PDF in browser" box
    #Click OK. Close Adobe Reader
    #Restart Firefox and test
    Also, check your settings for PDF Content type in Tools > Options > Applications (I know you said you have already done this, but check it again after doing the above). See:

  • Just recently I am getting the following error message when trying to access web sites. I get a pop up window stating "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: c.location is null" then I have to click ok. It is an issue with some plug-in?

    Just recently I am getting the following error message when trying to access web sites. I am using Firefox browser version 10.0.2. I get a pop up window stating "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: c.location is null" as the web site page is being displayed in browser winder. Then I have to click ok. It doesn't matter what web link/site I go to it happens. It is an issue with some plug-in?

    I have advised McAfee's product team of the problem and this thread, and they're looking into it now.

  • Get pop up window when leave the WD page

    Hello Martin,
    I have used this DLL before and wasn't asked to choose a codec. Maybe if you use all three functions (init, write, close), it works without problems. Here's a example that uses IMAQ hardware to acquire an 8-bit image at 30fps and writes each image to an avi file.
    There are utilities to examine dlls (see what functions are exported and what the dependencies are, but you can't see source code since it is compiles.) Check out QuickView or DependencyWalker.

  • When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet.

    When I close Firefox and open another instance of it to look at a new site I get a pop up window telling me Firefox hasn't shutdown yet. I am aware of tabs, but I prefer to just open new windows.
    Do I really need a pop up window telling me that I just closed Firefox? Is there a way to disable it in options? I can't even use Buzof program to auto click for me. I've never had this issue with any other browser and I find it incredibly annoying.

    I am not clear what you mean by:
    ''the program will only alow 1 website for each time I boot my machine,''
    Are you talking about Firefox or something else in the above statement. Firefox will, or should allow you to open quite a few tabs at startup if you wish, although it will be faster the fewer that you do open.
    When you say
    ''I close it the program does not completely close ''
    Again what is happening, what error messages if any do you see, and what exactly makes you think Firefox is not closing properly.
    Presumably you have already clicked on the blue links in my first post and read those articles.

    (You can take screenshots of the windows in your computer using Alt+PrintScreen... No need to use a camera)
    This is quite odd. Where did you get the Reader installer from? I would suggest uninstalling it and then downloading the installer from Adobe (here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/ ) and re-installing it.

    i get a pop-up window saying the current version of Safari does not support the community toolbar.  How do I get rid of this?

    You need to uninstall the Community / Conduit toolbar add-on.
    Locate the files in bold print and move them to the Trash. The first five are in your root   /Library
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader
    /Library/ScriptingAddtions (anything CTLoader realted)
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle
    The next one is in your Home folder.
    ~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
    When you're done, try Safari.

  • I'm trying to download the latest version of firefox. I get a pop up window that asks me what to open it with. I've tried adobe reader 9, acrobate reader 5, and real player. None work

    OK, I'll take you through what happens. When I click download firefox 4 I get a pop up window that asks "what should Firefox do with this file?"
    Below I have two choices:
    _Open with (choose)
    _Save File
    So I go to choose and pick an application.
    So I choose Acrobate Reader 5.0. Acrobate gives me a popup that says "Acrobat could not open firefox 4.0-4.dmg because it is either not a supported file type or because the fire has been corrupted....
    So I try download again (I should point out that I am currently running Firefox 3.6.16) The popup that asks me to choose a file to open firefox 4.0.dmg pops up again.
    So I choose Adobe Reader 9. Nothing happens. So I cancel.
    So what application should I go to to open Firefox 4.0.dmg

  • Upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and now I get a pop-up window that I have to click ok before I can start Firefox. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

    I upgrade to Firefox 5.0 and now when I start Firefox it takes a While but I get a Pop-up window with the message [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]" nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://fvd.single/content/fvd_single.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1526" data: no] Once I press ok on the pop-up window, Firefox will then start okay. I have not noticed any other problems yet.

    We suspect this issue is caused by [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader-youtube/ Flash Video Downloader] , can anyone confirm this by disabling this addon and verifying if the issue still occurs?
    Thanks!

  • Help, I get a pop up window

    I used to have a Yahoo account and set it up on Mail to read all my mails when I bought my computer. 
    I had too much spam and had to close the account and set up another account.  Well now, every hour I get a pop up window requesting the password for my old Yahoo accont.  I have tried everything, even called iMac help, and no luck.  Has this ever happened to anyone?  how did you fix it?
    You can't move it and it blocks your working window. 
    thanks,
    A.

    It sounds like you have your email set up to check the mail every hour. Since you still have that defined as an account to your email, it tries to check the mail, has a password issue, and gives you the annoying pop-up window.
    If you go into your mail, preferences, accounts, choose that old account (assuming you want to keep it to keep the mail that was associated with it), click the advanced tab, and uncheck "Include when automatically checking for new messages".
