New window spawns with ad

Hi
Since I've upgraded to firefox 4 when we view our portal it seems to open a new window just for one of the ads we run. We don't allow pop-up ads so I'm confused as to what is causing this. The problem is intermittent so it can happen 3-4 times in a row or once 20 revisits. Chrome, opera, ie and firefox 3.6 seem unaffected.
thanks

Firefox will not open new windows, opens with session restore every time I use it, and won't let me open the throubleshooting tab... Why?

Whenever I try to open a new window, nothing happens. This includes clicking ctrl+N and through the drop down menu.
Also, whenever I start firefox to browse the internet, it always open with a Session Restore with the previous session listed, even though I closed all the tabs and shut it down normally without any prompts telling me about saving multiple tabs.
Finally, when I tried to troubleshoot this problem, the tab never appeared. The only options that work on the Help Menu are:
- Firefox Help (after a few clicks)
- Report Broken Web Site
- Check for Updates

New window manager (with prototype!) [wmii-like] --- looking for help

I have a prototype for a new window manager in the style of wmii. It is called
cakewm. I currently have a prototype version implemented in pygame, and would
like help moving this to use X---making it a real window manager.
Disclaimer: I have a very limited knowledge of X11 and window manager
development. The most I've done is add a couple new features to wmfs.
To get the code
> git clone git://github.com/saikobee/cakewm.git
Then run main.py. cakewm depends on pygame.
Upon running, press Alt-Enter to fullscreen cakewm and intercept keybinds, or
Alt-Space to just intercept keybinds. Press Alt-Esc to quit. The window
manager related keybinds are listed in the file binds.conf.
Config note: <WSCA-x> means Windows-Shift-Control-Alt-x
Implementation note: pypixel.py is a large and mostly useless dependency. I
forked a library I made previously rather than coding straight in pygame.
cakewm's goals are to be similar to wmii, but with more functionality, easier
configurability, and saner defaults.
- cakewm is fully functional using the keyboard. Mouse support can come later.
- cakewm provides 9 workspaces per monitor.
- cakewm manages each workspace as a group of columns. Each column is like a
wmii default split, except each window can have other windows "stacked" on
top of or behind it.
- cakewm manages column sizes (and window sizes within columns) using a
master/slave paradigm, with the ability to adjust the size ratios.
- cakewm's configuration file is simple key=val pairs, with the ability to
include other files like in C.
- cakewm has a slightly larger emphasis on window decorations (adjustable
size---even in tiled mode) and themes (nothing bloated, like pixmaps or
gradients---it's all still simple colors).
- cakewm will have proper support for international text (Japanese text in
window titles or the wmii status bar generally render as boxes) through the
use of a more advanced text library such as Pango.
Please let me know if you have comments, questions, or concerns. If you are
interested in helping, get in touch with me. If you know somewhere better to
look for volunteers, please let me know.

The thing about wireless, I actually like command line, but there are a few things that are worth having a applet or something.

It's a good idea to have compiz as the WM actually. Would it be lightweight to have it like that?
Is there anybody here that uses compiz as a WM?
For the xfce4-panel, is it possible to get transparency on it? That's probably the only thing holding me back with xfce4-panel.
If "able to run compiz" wasn't a requisite, what other WM would you suggest for my "profile" ?
I would like to hear other users opinions who like to customize everything on a WM.
I recommend running Compiz by itself. There is a good wiki page on it in the Arch wiki. Some apps you'll want to go with it are:
LXAppearance --change GTK/icon theme
Feh or Nitrogen --Set Wallpaper
Xfce4-panel --The lightest one that works with Compiz properly
Or, if you don't want a panel: stalonetray
Compiz-deskmenu --For a customizable right-click main menu
Gmrun --Run dialog (Alt+F2 in most DEs)
And this helped me a lot.
Thank you all for the replies. I appreciate.
Xfce4-panel can have transparency. The only problem is that everything become transparent: text, icons, everything.
I use Compiz as a standalone WM and it is much lighter than DE+Compiz. My Compiz setup uses about 30MB(out of 1GB) more RAM than my Openbox setup (which are both the same except for the WM).

When I open a link a new window opens with the toolbar and sidebar missing, on my previous machine the link simply opened in a new tab (not window).

When I open a link in Firefox instead of opening a new tab it opens in a new window with all of the toolbars missing including the sidebar, right clicking anywhere gives me no options to restore the toolbars. My old machine simply opened the same link that I am trying in a new tab with all my toolbars available.

New windows open with different toolbars (and missing URL bar)

When I select the "New Window" button or "Open in New Window" from the context menu, a new Firefox window opens - however, the toolbars are completely different from the original open window. Specifically, the URL location bar is missing.
I can add it back, but the change then modifies my original toolbar setup.
More bad behavior: Even if I modify the new window back to the way I wanted it, new windows opened from that window revert back to the modified version, with no location toolbar.

Problem with new window opening with basic test JTree program

I'm still getting to grips with Swing, and have now moved on to basic JTrees.
I'm currently trying to use an add and delete button to add new nodes to the root etc. The addition and deletion is working ok, except that each time the addButton is pressed, a completely new window is created on top of the current window with the new node added to the root etc.
I know this is probably a simple mistake, but I can't quite see it at the moment.
My current code is as follows,
import java.awt.*;

I know this is probably a simple mistake, but I can't

Look at the actionPerformed code for your buttons. The first thing you do there is to create a new TreeAdditionDeletionTester_1, so I don't know why you are surprised you get a new window. There is no need to create a new instance in there, just call addObject/removeCurrentNode on the "this" instance.

After downloading Maverick, suddenly I'm having problems with new windows (like with Blackboard) closing automatically. Anyone else?

A few weeks after downloading Maverick, I noticed that some attempts to use software that opens new windows (like Blackboard) are now failing as soon as that window opens. Is this a glitch with Maverick?

Yes! Been living in a hellish nightmare since Sept-Oct. Unlike you, however, Apple has been of no help. They say the iPad is unhackable, plist and crash reports are none of my business and who understands them anyway, their route tracing apps are probably not reliable. The best they could do was wipe the iPad clean. Lost photos they said would be in the cloud....
Almost immediately was back in somebody's VPN, their remote controller, video, audio, working. Got the purple buddy for the first time today. I have been invaded, my iPad no longer feels like my own, I have lost thanksgiving, Christmas, new year trying to track down the invaders, signed up for a Cisco course, set/reset passwords.
I don't know who else to contact... Or what next to do.
I've read similar frustration in other posts, scattered around the support communities. Yours is the only one that has worked toward a solution.
How did you get anyone at apple to look at your logs and acknowledge there is a problem?
Would be happy for a suggestion on how to proceed. Already been the apple store genius and tech on phone route.

Complete web pages (in the form of ads basically) pop up without being prompted in a new window even with adblocker on.

A few times per day, on average, a new web page will appear in a new window...basically marketing their product or solution. I have ABP turned on. I'd like to know how I can prevent this from occurring.

Hi,
I have the same issue, but the thing is, "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" is OFF, and about:config shows that "accessibility.blockautorefresh" is false.
So everything should be OK, however I constantly get the "This web page is being redirected to a new location. Would you like to resend the form data you have typed to the new location?" message, and it's utterly annoying.
Any ideas? I would appreciate any help! Thanks!

Handling new window open with WebView

Hi,
I'm developing an app where I use webview to display a webpage. The webpage has a link where a file gets downloaded automatically when selected. What I'm trying to do is to get the link of the downloadable file and try to download it from my app. The problem
I'm facing is that IE automatically opens whenever the downloadable link is pressed. I cant get event handler to detect this scenario. I've seen there could be a solution using Javascript but I dont know how to implement it. I found there is x-ms-webview.MSWebViewNewWindowRequested
but this one is for Windows 10 only. I wonder if there is an alternative solution for WP8.1. Thanks

Hi Rob,
Now I've tried two solutions and none of them worked as expected. Here are the options
1) In the WebView.NavigationStarted, I download the html content and then modify it to remove target=_blank which triggers opening a new window. I then call WebView.NavigateToString to call the new html content. Looks like it works somehow but
the reloaded page does not contain images, links, etc. Is there a way to fix this?
2) I've tried the solution described in this link:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18799534/notify-click-action-on-button-in-webview
which is essentially injecting javascript code to handle button clicks. The code looks like this:
private void WebView_OnLoadCompleted(object sender, NavigationEventArgs e)
webView.InvokeScript("eval", new[]
"var loginButon=document.getElementById(\"login\");" +
"if (loginButon.addEventListener) {" +
"loginButon.addEventListener(\"click\", clickFunction, false);" +
"} else {" +
"loginButon.attachEvent('onclick', clickFunction);" +
"} " +
"function clickFunction(){" +
" window.external.notify('loginClick');"+
However, I get error when the code executes webView.InvokeScript (Execption:0x80020101). Do you have any idea why?
Kind Regards

No KeyDown detected on a new Window presented with ShowDialog (a mouse click is required before working)

Hello,
I shorter the code.
In MainWindow I have a button to open a SecondWindow
private void ButtonNextWindow_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;
var secondWindow = new SecondWindow();
secondWindow.ShowDialog();
WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
In the second window class I declared a KeyDown event called onKeyDown
private void onKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
MessageBox.Show("Key Pressed");
well... it works only if I first click in the Second Window with the mouse, wherever I want.
I would avoid this click; seems something related with the Keyboard focus.
Thanks in advance,
Vincenzo

Set second window to focus after you set first window state to normal
private void ButtonNextWindow_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
WindowState = WindowState.Minimized;
var secondWindow = new SecondWindow();
secondWindow.ShowDialog();
WindowState = WindowState.Normal;
secondWindow.Focus();

Need to switch my iTunes account to a new Windows computer (with other issues)

I am trying to switch my iTunes account over to my Windows laptop. My old Windows computer is completely dead at the moment but I am trying to find someone to recover the data. All I have at this point is my ipod with the music on it, but I'm afraid that if I plug it into my laptop, it will delete the music from my account. Also, I need to figure out how to change the iTunes user on my laptop. My husband got an account which he never used, so I just need to log out and log on with my account that has the music synced the the ipod, but I couldn't find a way to do that. Any suggestions?

Hello, lnear259.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

All of a sudden when i click any button or link a new window opens with an ad

I have used Firefox for about 7 years. No issues...
I recently installed Ghostery add on.
The only way to describe it is:
I go to a page..
Click a link (or close to it) or enter or any other button/link that would take me to what I expect..
BUT instead it opens a new tab to an advertisement site (quibids, P&G, many other random ads) - a few of them I blacklisted with BLOCKSITE (installed after the problem started happening) but several I can't because I would actually use them when I need to (ex: Vistaprint.com)
When I go back to the original site and click the same link and click it again it works as intended.
This happens across all sites that I am on...
It is like there is a hidden link within the one I am clicking on.
I have pop ups blocked in my browser but this gets around it somehow.
Since GHOSTERY installed, some sites do not work correctly. If I click on a picture, or something that I want to expand it is as if I am doing nothing at all because it won't complete the action, the functionality is broken.
I have white listed a couple sites but this is random and if I whitelist everything I come across then it opens me back to what I am trying to avoid..
EXAMPLES:
went on Heat.com, clicked the button to go to the White Hot Gear instead it opened a new tab brandonline.com
was on LinkedIn and hit the comment button on a thread, then it opened a new tab vistaprint.com
was on publix.com, hit the order refills button, then it opened a new tab premium-promos.net
did a google search clicked on the link I wanted, it opened a new tab premiumgiftrewards.net
EACH time I go back to the original site and click the same button/link/etc it takes me where expected.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Both Firefox and IE have the same problem. The cursor instead of being a finger when pointing to a link is still an arrow. However I can click anywhere on the page and an ad will pop up. I have eliminated all unwanted bars in Firefox, I ran Malwarebytes until it came out clean. I also have AVG which had detected a few items on it's own. But when I get into Firefox I still have exactly the same problem. Now it will not let me download Browser Safeguard. Usually after one click the pointer returns to normal for a few screens. When I try to click to download Browser Safeguard it keeps bringing up different ads or it tries to get me to upgrade Firefox or some other browser helper program which I know are all BS tactics to get me to load their junk again. PLease help I'm an engineer and pretty good with PCs but this one has me beat at least so far.

NavigateToURL opening in New Window even with _Self

Strange Behavior in a flash I'm working on. And I must be
doing something wrong because I can reproduce it in every flash I
create. You can check out the behavior here at a test page on my
under construction site:
http://www.i2craptor.com/
I have a menu bar at the top of the page, with the following
code:
btnHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn1ClickHandler);
function btn1ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("
http://www.i2ctech.com/"),"_Self");
btnProducts.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn2ClickHandler);
function btn2ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("products.html"),"_Self");
btnSupport.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn3ClickHandler);
function btn3ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("support.html"),"_Self");
btnResources.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn4ClickHandler);
function btn4ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("resources.html"),"_Self");
btnCompany.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn5ClickHandler);
function btn5ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("company.html"),"_Self");
btnPress.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btn6ClickHandler);
function btn6ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("press.html"),"_Self");
Here is the crazy thing. If I open up a web browser and then
click the menu buttons, the buttons open the link up in a new page.
Once the NEW page opens, the menu buttons start acting as I would
expect, then opening any further links in the same web page. Is
this some internet explorer security setting? Every computer that I
have utilized (total of 5) to view the web page exhibits this same
behavior.

That resolved the issue. Thank you so much.
