New breed of pop-ups not being blocked?

Websites are using some sort of pop-up that doesn't get blocked like the normal ad type pop-up? Usually the pop-up ask some sort of question when you first visit the site(i.e. would you like to sign up for our news letter, etc..) . These pop-ups are annoying because you have to close them before you can see the page contents you are visiting. Yahoo mail uses one of theses pop-ups when you log out of your email asking you to make yahoo.com your home page.
I've noticed that these pop-ups are becoming more frequent and more websites are using them. BigFishgames.com just popped one at me about a new game they've added.
I am getting tired of having to close these pop-ups all the time!
Does any one know how to stop them?

See if anything here helps you. <br />

How do I dis-able the pop-up blocker when the box is not checked and yet, pop ups are being blocked?

I want to totally disable Mozilla's pop-up blocker. I went to the tools/options page and found that the pop up blocker box is not checked but it is still blocking pop-ups. I see that others are having the same problem. How do we fix it, or, is this a programming issue and if so, is Firefox fixing it? It is quite annoying.

Could you click the Exceptions button to the right of "Block pop-up windows" and make sure none of those sites is specifically blocked?
If you have unchecked the box and there is no site-specific setting, that usually does it...
Is it possible that an add-on is doing the blocking? A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
Check the Options dialog > Content to make sure the pop-up blocker is turned off.
If popups now work correctly, this points to one of your extensions as the most likely culprit. If you restart in normal mode, you can try disabling (or adjusting the options of) any that seem possibly popup-related (e.g., security related) here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
Any change?

HT5568 cookies are not being blocked

This ***** so bad, the cookies on Safari are not being blocked on my Mac Lion 10. 7.5? What's going on. I can be on for 2 minutes and not visit a website but still have 45 cookies including one saved to my local cache. I though Macs were supposed to be better than this.

Do you have a question?
If it's about blocking cookies, then may I assume you have disabled all cookies via Safari preferences; that the browser is set to block cookies always?
If you're concerned about tracking (I don't know why you're asking about cookies), you could choose to enable and use Private Browsing option.
Realize too that there are other and very effective ways to track clients without cookies; whether using Flash Cookies or so-called super-cookies or via EFF's Panopticlick techniques.

Just transfer them from iTunes.
If they are not in iTunes. connect the iPod, then File > Devices > Transfer purchases.
Then connect the iPhone and sync these songs.

How to block new generation of pop ups and "pop ins."

There seems to have been a sea change in website design lately. In particular there appears to be a new generation of pop up windows that appear after a certain amount of time has elapsed or when one scrolls far enough down on the page. Many are designed to "pop in" from the sides; these ones usually slide into view almost as an animation.
I have pop up blocking enabled in FF and I have tried a couple of add-ons but I am not able to defeat these "features." Any advice is appreciated.

They are actively driving me off of some sites. I can't believe anyone would re-implement this "feature" after so many people opted out by using popup blockers in the past. Thanks for the info though. Cheers.

Pop ups not popping up

I use my Mac to print postal labels. When you do this from USPS website, the label will open up in a PDF file (I believe) so I can and review and print. I tried this yesterday several times and it just wouldn't work. My pop up blocker is turned off, I have cleared cache, history and it does say printer is ready. I printed some priority labels just a week and half go with no problem. I did have an issue at Paypal trying to do the same and called for support and found out my pop up was on but I ended up canceling the transaction anyway. I have no problem printing a document or an article off the web. I have updated my Adobe reader which the USPS recommend. Nothing. My guess is there is somthing preventing this pop up (if that's you want to call it) from opening up.
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is a workaround that I always use, because I hate being blocked. Just go into Menu>Window>Activity. It shows everything that has happened recently with your computer. You should see one that says USPS or something like that. Click on the little triangle that brings down everything you did with that website. There should be one that says .pdf or something like that. It's usually the largest file (it lists the size, usually in KB on the right). Just double click, it will open up in a new window. Print. Done.
This should work.

Allowed pop ups not showing

I have allowed certain sites to display pop ups. For some reason they will not display in either a new tab or new window. No message shows at all.
I'm using Vista with FF 3.6
Click on the URL/image bottom right to see what I mean.

Images inside pop-ups not displaying correctly

I am generating a CHM using RoboHelp 10. I have certain pop-ups in some topics. These pop-ups contain screen shots. After generating the CHM, when I click the pop-ups to view the screen shots, they are not displayed correctly. That is, half of the image does not appear and there are no horizontal scroll bars either to scroll. This happens for pop-ups that are appear on the left side of a topic.The images inside pop-ups that appear to the right side of a topic appear fine when clicked.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for the response. Alas, updating the DHTML effects doesn't help. In the project that am working, I have used hyperlinks that are marked to be displayed as auto-sizing pop-ups.
I also tried editing the eHlpDhtm.js file as mentioned in the thread here, https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1297423#expires_in=86399993&token_type=bearer&access_token =eyJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsIng1dSI6I…. But that was of no avail either.
Do you have any other insights here?

Anamika
P.S. Am using RH 10.0.1.292.

New E-Mails on iPad not being highlighted

I just upgraded all my devices to the new latest Yosemite OSX. Everything seems OK except on my iPad new e-mails are not being highlighted. I have to carefully review the list of e-mails to determine which ones are new. Any ideas on how to fix this? It isn't happening on my iMac or MacBook Pro, just my iPad(2).
Thanks!
Phil

I've tried the Mail app in the past, but that had its own quirks (not being able to delete everything in the Spam folder at once, not all Contacts syncing over). I don't have to worry about the pesky ads because I use Yahoo Mail Plus instead of the regular version. I'm sure it's just a glitch that showed up when something was updated, and it will probably be back to normal soon.

I have unblocked my pop ups but still blocked so I can't play bridge on line

I need pop ups to get a table, but they are blocked. I have been through the procedure to unblock, but it doesn't help.

It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):

Dropbox uploads not being blocked as configured...

We are working to loosen up some of our policies regarding file transfer sites, and for DropBox, I can consistently use the default (flash-based, I think) file uploader, and I can upload to my heart's content, even though I have specified that file uploads are to be blocked. If I use the basic uploader, Ironport blocks the file upload.
Can someone replicate this to confirm, or am I doing something incorrectly? Not being able to block file uploads is a very big deal, and is very concerning if Ironport is not blocking the traffic/actions that have been set on it.
Thanks!
Mike C

Michael,
How big are the files you are testing with? An upload is governed by Ironport Data Security Policies. By default, uploads smaller than 4096 bytes will not be looked at.
You can reduce the minimum size in the CLI using the command 'datasecurityconfig'.
Don't forget to 'commit' the changes after you are done.

Bex WebAnalyzer pop ups not allowing

When I execute a query, in the web analyzer the output tables are displayed but I couldnt select dynamically the variables pop ups are not allowing.

Hello
When you are executing a query/template on web, you will got the following link:
http://<server>:<tcp>/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.sap.pct!2fplatform_add_ons!2fcom.sap.ip.bi!2fiViews!2fcom.sap.ip.bi.bex?QUERY=<YOUR_QUUERY>
In the end of this string, add the following statement: "&variable_screen=x"
This will solve the issue.
Thank you.

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.

Is there a keyboard shortcut to close all unselected windows (background windows). This is for pop ups not blocked by the safari block pop up preference. This would be different to [cmd q] as it would leave the selected window with her tabs active...

this is for safari.
Thanks!

None that I know of - Option clicking a tab 'x' closes all others, but doesn't work for windows, here.
Between Ghostery & Adblock Safari extensions, you'd rarely see a pop-up at all.
