Malware Popup Window for Firefox 35.0 Update - How to fix

Starting a year ago, I have intermittently been getting this pop-up several times per day regarding a Firefox 35.0 software update to Firefox 34.0.5. I clicked the decline button the first time it ever appeared since I thought it was a normal update, but avast immediately started detecting malware. After having the malware removed, I stopped getting the message for a few months, but it returned and continues to reoccur. It's clear to me that this is a virus because its Firefox logo at the top left corner is hazy (copied jpeg image instead of official logo), its grammar and phrasing are unprofessional, and it has multiple links. Has anyone else been getting this message, and could you please suggest how I might resolve this issue? Thank you!

  • How to close a popup window for system events?

    Hi,
    I have a screen 110 which shows several input field in popup mode.
    The Cancel button can close the screen.
    But my question is how to close the popup window for the following system events?
    1, Customer clicks the cross button in top-right corner
    2, Customer clicks the system icon in top-left corner and then select either: "Close" or "Stop Session"
    The PAI subroutine of the screen has not been triggered for the above system events.
    Thanks for the coming help.
    Best Regards,
    David

    Hi Siddharth,
    I did check with another very experienced ABAP developer.
    The solution was the same as what Arunima Rudra provided.
    And I got a sample program which did work properly.
    The headache is that the system events in my program still cannot be triggered even after I have all the same changes.
    Anyway, I suggest you to try the solution as provided by Arunima Rudra.
    It should work for 2 system events:
    1, Customer clicks the cross button in top-right corner
    2, Customer clicks the system icon in top-left corner and then select either: "Close"
    For "Stop Session", it should not be handled by popup.
    You can observe the same behavior in ALV sorting configuration popup.
    Good luck!

  • Popup window for data selection in maintenance view

    Hi,
    How to create popup window for data selection in maintenance view. For example when you go to view v_t510 in se16, there you will see a popup window to enter values. after you enter the values in that window, then data related to those values that you entered in the popup window will displayed.
    How can we do that for the custom maintenance view?
    Thanks in advance for your help guys.

    In your custom maintainace view, if you select the Data browser / Table view maintainace under the tab "Maint Status" as "Dispaly maintanence allowed with restriction" than system will give you popup to restrict by selection.

  • Popup window for downloading a file

    Hi,
    my dear users want me to do the impossible possible. My code generates an XML file which in time I displayed it in an Iframe in the application. When the standard popup window shows up, they can either Open, Save or Cancel it. This was allright.
    Now they want the file in a new window displayed (when they press Open), because opening the file in the same window means they leave the application and after reading the file, they have to start the application again. I do it like this:
    The code works perfect only with the Alert instructions. Once I delete it, the window is opened and inmediately closed. The popup window for the file does not show up.
    Thanks for your ideas.

    here is the code sample.
    1. user clicks a button in the main page , which will generate xml and show the same in a new window.
    page attributes
    display_url     TYPE     STRING                                                                
    file_mime_type     TYPE     STRING                                                                
    flights     TYPE     FLIGHTTAB     Table for SFLIGHT
    wf_xml     TYPE     XSTRING
    layout:
    <%@page language="abap" %>
    <%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
    <htmlb:content design="design2003" >
      <htmlb:page title=" " >
        <htmlb:form>
          <htmlb:textView text   = "Hello World!"
                          design = "EMPHASIZED" />
          <htmlb:button text    = "Press Me"
                        onClick = "myClickHandler" />
          <%
      IF  display_url IS NOT INITIAL.
          %>
          <script language="Javascript">
            window.open("<%= display_url%>").focus();
          </script>
          <%
      ENDIF.
          %>
        </htmlb:form>
      </htmlb:page>
    </htmlb:content>
    oninputprocessing code.
    data: cached_response type ref to if_http_response.
    data: guid type guid_32.
    CALL TRANSFORMATION (`ID`)
                SOURCE flights   = flights[]
                RESULT XML wf_xml.
    file_mime_type = 'text/xml' .
    create object cached_response type cl_http_response exporting add_c_msg = 1.
      cached_response->set_data( wf_xml ).
      cached_response->set_header_field( name  = if_http_header_fields=>content_type
                                         value = file_mime_type ).
      cached_response->set_status( code = 200 reason = 'OK' ).
      cached_response->server_cache_expire_rel( expires_rel = 180 ).
      call function 'GUID_CREATE'
        importing
          ev_guid_32 = guid.
      concatenate runtime->application_url '/' guid into display_url.
      cl_http_server=>server_cache_upload( url      = display_url
                                           response = cached_response ).
      return.
    2.user clicks a button in the main page , which will generate xml and present the user with a option to save locally or cancel. (in this case no additional browser window will be opened - only a popup and also the main page is not affected)
    layout code:
    same as option 1.
    oninputprocesing code.
    everything is same except change
    file_mime_type = 'text/xml' .
    to
    file_mime_type = 'application/oct-stream' .
    Note: wf_xml is of type xstring which holds the xml stream.

    Resolved!
    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.

  • Javascript popup window for updatable report

    We have an updatable report and would like to have a pop-up window on one of the fields. What parameters do we pass to the pop-up so it can return the selected value to the correct row and column in the would report? What is the code in the pop-up to set the correct row/column in the updatable report?
    We are familiar with the process for form elements, but not for updatable reports.

    Hello,
    YOu just have to save the current working form field as a variable. So the popup javascript would look something like this.
    var gReturnElement;
    function customPopUp(pThis){
    gReturnElement = html_CascadeUpTill(pThis,'TD').getElementsByTagName('INPUT')[0];
    /*popup code here*/
    Then from the popup window you would use something like
    function customSetValue(pText){
    window.opener.gReturnElement.value = pText
    window.close();
    Is there a specifc reason you can't use the built in ones? It would be much easier for you to mantain compared to custom code.

  • Deadlock between "Save as" dialog box and another popup window in Firefox

    I have only seen this problem with recent versions of Firefox on Mac OS X, and I have run into it several times in the last few months (I am using Firefox 9), where Firefox seems to get into a dead-lock, and I can't find anyway round this except killing and restarting Firefox.
    The dead-lock happens when I am in the "Save as" dialog box -- i.e. the popup when I try to save something. If I get a pop-up window warning me that the script on some webpage is unresponsive, this leads to a dead-lock. The reason is this popup expects a response from me -- to stop or let the script continue, but it is unable to accept my response, I assume because the "Save As" dialog box has the focus, but I am unable to continue with the "Save As" dialog (I simply get a beep if I press the save or cancel buttons), presumably because of the "unresponsive" popup is expecting my response.
    I don't know if the "unresponsive script" popup happens because I am taking too long with the "Save As" dialog, or if it is prompted by the script from another page (I have many tabs opened)
    Is there anyway to get around this without killing the Firefox process? Also, can this problem be fixed so that the dead-lock does not occur?

    As I said, the problem is not because Firefox is hanging, or because I cannot save my files. It is happening because the "unrespnsive script" popup is allowed to occur while I am in the "Save As" dialog -- i.e. I have chosen to save something, e.g. a web page, and this prompt the "Save As" dialog, i.e. where I specify the file name and where to save to -- this is working fine.
    However, when you are in the "Save As" dialog, the "Save As" window is the only window of Firefox that you can interact with. However, if the "unresponsive script" popup window happens to pop-up when you are inside the "Save As" dialog (which does not occur very often, and I have not encounter it except on recent versions of Firefox o the Mac; I have used Firefox on Windows and Linux for many years), then you get into this dead-lock, because you cannot answer the "unresponsive script" pop-up (i.e to continue or terminate the script), as you cannot interact with the new pop-up window, but at the same time, you cannot continue with the "Save As" dialog -- you can interact with the "Save As" window (i.e. press buttons etc.), but the actions are ignored.
    To be clear, what I suspect I am seeing is a bug in the User interface code for the Mac version of Firefox.
    I have noticed yesterday that I got an "unresponsive script" pop-up on the Windows version of Firefox immediately after I have finished my "Save As" dialog. I have no way of being certain (unless I look at the code), but my guess is that the "unresponsive script" pop-up was delayed until after I finished the "Save As" dialog on the Windows version, i.e. option 3 in my previous post, but this does not seem to happen on the Mac version.

  • Content tab in options is not operational, cannot allow certain popup windows for sites like pandora and others; that's the tip of the iceberg...

    When I go into option menu, then click on the content tab, nothing happens; regardless of the duration of the waiting period, as when you click it and wait, you might as well walk away, because it will not load even if you wait an hour; THE OTHER TABS LOAD (THOUGH SLOWER THAN PREVIOUS VERSION) and function as far as I can determine. There is not the Firefox "One button for everything" at the top left like in the tutorial for this 4th gen. update either, and in general it's functioning rather sluggishly; I think I will be uninstalling the new version tomorrow as soon as I can.
