Mail compose window jumps to back when adding address. As soon as I add a single character to the address window of a new mail message, it pops under all other existing windows. If I have others open...and who doesn't? I have to then close them all.

So.....deeply....disappointed by Lion...
It honestly gets in the way of getting things done.
When was the last time you had an upgrade, in any program or OS that caused an immediate productivity drop?
Mail windows, when adding a new address, pop under to become the lowest window in the stack...before you are done composing...
no extra clicks..just adding ONE character to the actual address bar does it.
Trying to add files to an online content management system is hard...it's hard because when you attempt to add the file, it disappears from
the list, so a search must be conducted...oh not a search of your hard drive...no...it has to include ALL FILES and that takes a while, showing
files totally unrelated to what you need or in whatever that view is, showing everything from movies to documents, to a whole range of other stuff
that is irrelevant to what is being sought.
I can get used to the disappearing icon tool bar...but the message threading in Mail is so strangely bad it's hard to describe. So you send out an email,
and it had 5 points...but that was 3 emails before...A reply comes in addressing those 5 points but saying something like ..."I disagree with point number 4"
Unless you have total recall the thread shows you only incoming mail and the LAST most recent folded up message you sent. You are forced to go digging
into sent mail to see what that point you made 8 days eariler actually was...
I am pleased that I don't have to have Launchpad (honestly the silliest 'feature' I've ever seen on a computer) in the dock and see no point in the juvenile Mission Control (the naming scheme is odd and reminiscent of Junior Spaceman...how ironic that we end America's manned launch capability at the same time as Launch Pad and Mission Control, both throwbacks to the 60's are added to an OS). In any case both are virtually useless tools. One, replacing the mildly useful Spaces and the other just genuinely useless.
I'm going to give Apple until the second bug fix...but I can tell right now that Snow Leopard was a far more robust OS. The thousands of posts about this may rise to the level of AntennaGate...I hope so...It seems the only way to get Steve (for whom I have now honestly lost respect for the FIRST TIME) to address the issues is to embarrass the company publicly. Lion is a broken system, poorly conceived...and proof that the Apple methodology of no widespread user testing can and does fail. This needs to get fixed. Soon.

It seems to have something to do with profile manager.
I get stack traces in the "system messages" logs for the "Server" application, grrrr.
I'll get that info and attempt to submit a but report tonight.

I've started getting pop-under ads every time I launch Firefox, and the uninstall instructions don't make sense, how can I stop these?

In the past couple of weeks, every time I launch Firefox, a full-size pop-under ad is also launched, regardless of what site I'm browsing.
The original ad was for a You Tube survey, and contains a link to coupondropdown.com, where there's a menu option for uninstalling. The uninstall instructions don't make sense, they don't mention what ad-on is controlling the ads, and I can't work out what's responsible for the ads from my very basic range of ad-ons.
The reason I'm writing is that the ads have progressed from annoying but harmless, to dangerous. The ad today was designed as a warning pop-up, text reads, "Threat Detected: Immediate Action Required. Fatal Registry Error ... click "Repair All" to eliminate all possible threats and clean your PC". I have screenshots of all the above.
I'm worried that another user, my son or mother, might take this warning seriously and install malware by accident. What can I do to prevent these ads? I expect this type of malware advertising on dodgy websites, but I'm getting them when I try to access hotmail, the news, etc, so it's not the website that's causing them.

Found the source using Microsoft Safety Scanner on a full scan. The culprit was a Trojan:Win32/Sirefef!cfg

Office 2013 windows 'pop-under' when run as remote apps on Server 2008R2 from Windows 7 clients

We have an environment with Windows 7 clients running Office 2013 via RDS on Windows Server 2008R2.
When users double click emails from Outlook, they 'pop-under', forcing the user to relocate the window which has fallen behind the application's primary window, leaving behind a slight redraw of what is supposed to be the pop-up window. Users also experience
difficulty opening application menu/help items and any other dialogue boxes in any/all of the other Office 2013 apps we've deployed via RDS.
This issue persists only on Win7 PCs (WinXP does not exhibit this behaviour). The RDP clients range from 6.2.92 to 6.1.7601

Hi,
Please give the new Remote Desktop Client 8.1 for Windows 7 a try when it is re-released (it was removed temporarily due to an issue with smart cards). It has fixes related to z-order issues, which
may correct the problem you are seeing.
Update for RemoteApp and Desktop Connections features is available for Windows

My firefox browser keeps getting redirected to sites like "video cop" and other things I've never heard of. I keep getting pop under windows out of nowhere. What's wrong!? Adware, Spybot, and all my antivirus scans can't find anything!

When I click on links on google to go to search results, the computer often freezes or is misdirected to sites like "video cop." I've never had problems with firefox before, it's always been the most reliable browser - but now I'm getting pop-under ads too. I ran spybot, adaware, AVG, and a bunch of other scans but none of them detected any problems.
HELP!!!!!!

Save as PDF dialog popping under all other windows using Acrobat 9

One of my clients recently upgraded a bunch of their workstations to Windows 7 64bit Enterprise edition. Now when they try to print to a PDF by selecting the print option in any application and then selecting the PDF printer, the dialog box pops under all the other windows. The result is the application appears to freeze, as it is stuck at the 'now printing' screen. See the below screenshot for a sample. Meanwhile, the save as PDF dialog is still there and if you click on the blank icon you can see in the attached screenshot, the dialog will pop up and you can finish making the PDF.
Steps I've already taken to try to resolve this include: running a repair of acrobat, uninstalling and reinstalling acrobat and removing and adding the PDF printer. So far none of this has had any effect. I'm using the current (that is 9.3.2) patch revision for acrobat.
Any help/suggestions would be most welcome!

Are they really missing or there are place holders there? Have you gone to the preferences and turned on View Large Images? As an unrelated comment, do you really want images in a resume? Maybe if you are a graphic artist or such, but images are not common in most resumes I have seen and I would not expect such. However, that is really your choice, just wanted to comment.

Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under)

Unsolicited ad inserted behind main browser window (pop-under) every time TheBlaze.com is visited.
ENVIRONMENT
Win7 SP1
Firefox 34.0 (Pop-up windows are blocked)
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
Once the requested home page, from theBlaze.com server, is received by Firefox on your PC, your first mouse click will trigger the pop-under creation process. Pop-under ads are similar to pop-up ads, but the ad window appears hidden behind the main browser window rather than superimposed in front of it. The ad window is located in a new copy of Firefox. Additional mouse clicks may produce cumulative pop-under ad window creations. So, you may end up with multiple pop-under ad windows, each in a new copy of Firefox. According to many marketing “genius” this method of presenting unsolicited ads is much less abrasive than pop-ups used to be, and now recommend the use of pop-unders.
The HTML source file received from TheBlaze.com server contains (in clear) between line 158 and line 202 , the JavaScript code needed to generate the pop-under windows and also contain the URL of the advertiser.
Line numbers may vary from user to user, but look in the source file and locate the beginning and the end of the script at:
BEGIN ADSUPPLY →
the script is located here (approx 44 lines of code)
<!-- END ADSUPPLY →
The fact that the advertiser URL is contained in the source file indicates that, this is a well organized advertizing business. In the examined case the advertiser was "gorgonkil.com".
SOLUTIONS TO STOP POP-UNDERS
This pop-under unsolicited ad plague can originate from any Web site, not only from TheBlaze.com. This is not hidden malware, but highly visible in the HTML page received from the unscrupulous Web site. Be aware that using the “block pop-up windows” parameter in Firefox > Tools > Options > Content > will not solve this problem.
InternetExplorer 11 also falls victim of the pop-under unsolicited ads. SlimBrowser7 survives elegantly and no pop-under windows are opened.
In the proposed 2 solutions, you will need to receive a first unsolicited ad, then take note of the advertiser URL and insert it in the Win7 Firewall or in the BlockSite Firefox extension.
If the unscrupulous Web site sends a large number of new and different advertiser URLs during one browsing session, then you will need to find a more elegant solution to the problem.
WIN7 Firewall
The received ad normally contains the advertiser URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com).
The Win7 firewall has the capability to block IP addresses.
The fact that Win7 Firewall requires IP addresses be expressed in dotted-decimal notation (e.g. 172.16.254.1) makes it less attractive. But, should you decide to use the dotted-decimal notation, it should work perfectly
Block Site 1.1.8 Firefox extension
Install Firefox extension “Block Site 1.1.8”. It is working very well for me.
You need to go to Block Site “Options” and “add” the URL (e.g. gorgonkil.com) you want to block.
Once enabled, the Block Site extension will display a small window for 3-4 seconds (lower right position) every time a pop-under creation is attempted by any unscrupulous offender and the pop-under will not be created.
My own “Options” file now contains more then 18 advertiser URLs (over 3-4 months).
I have stopped visiting TheBlaze.com Web site as of yesterday.
WEB SITE REPUTATION & REVIEW SERVICE
You may obtain a reputation rating for many Web sites by installing a Fiirefox extension: Web of Trust - WOT
WOT adds intuitive traffic light-style icons next to search results and URLs to help you make informed decisions about whether to visit a site or not.
A review has been submitted to WOT (12-19-2014) pertaining to TheBlaze.com. The rating is in bright red “I don't trust” (Ads/Pop-ups).

On websites which open pop-under windows, Firefox 4 seems to be opening these over the current window instead of under. Is this a bug or an intentional feature?

I have noticed a problem on FF4 when browsing sites that open pop-under windows on a user action. With all other browsers (including FF3) these open underneath the main window, but on Firefox 4 they open over the top - acting as pop-ups and not pop-unders.
While pop-unders are annoying, it is even more annoying to have them keep appearing as pop-ups instead.
I have run some tests and the following code successfully opens a pop-under on all browsers except Firefox 4.
It appears that window.focus() is not correctly bringing the current window to the top.
Example code:
var w = window.open('http://www.mydomain.com/', 'mywin', 'width=400,height=300,toolbar=1,menubar=1,resizable=1,scrollbars=1');
if(w){
w.blur();
window.focus();
}

This is normal. Firefox 4 has disabled the default "window flip".
- go to adress about:config
- accept and search dom.disable_window_flip set to false;
And popunder, blur/focus javascript function will be back ;)

Stop Pop-Under windows (ads) please

Is there any way to stop Pop-Under windows (ads) in Safari 5?
Safari itself seems to stop pop-up windows fine, but some pop-up then go behind the main window, yuck.
I saw a quote from GlimmerBlocker that is does *not* stop pop-under windows.
thanks

"Because GlimmerBlocker doesn't hack Safari, there is a few things it isn't able to do: adding a block by right-clicking an image, stopping pop-unders, and filtering cookies from 3rd party sites. But you win a lot in stability, and GlimmerBlocker provides much easier methods for adding your own modifications to pages by adding css rules, pieces of Javascript or by transforming the html before Safari receives it. So I'll hope you're happy with the tradeoff."
... but I hear you and will try it, thanks.

BeeOptions and other pop unders

Oh dear. This is quite problematic and I have no idea how to resolve it.
So recently I was using my windows side and was trying to install a piece of software on there, and I accidentally clicked something to download thinking it was the software I was trying to get (you know those deceivingly large "download buttons" on download sites that are not actually what you want? Yeah, that one). I didn't realize it until afterwards. In shot, I deleted my windows partition and reinstalled it.
HOWEVER, on my mac side, something happened. Everytime I use any form of browser, when I click on links in there, it launches pop unders. I'm really getting annoyed at this, and I tried everything I could. I checked for plugins, but it's not specific to a browser. I think there is something on my computer that I cannot locate. I tried using my application "Clean My Mac 2" but that doesn't find any bugs. Also, I tried using Sopho's cleaning but it still wouldn't detect it.
I could use any help I can get.

You want to be careful with apps like Clean My Mac - it can encourage you to delete system files & other items that you actually need. Sophos's software seems to cause performance issues on some systems (it runs many background jobs).
These 'maintenance utilities' have a bad reputation on this site - many users will tell you to remove them. It may also be causing part of the issue..
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-uninstall-software/
The safe mac site also has other info on 'malware & adware' removal, make sure you cleaned it out properly otherwise it may reappear again.
There are other tools that can show what is installed…
http://etresoft.com/etrecheck
Post a report from that if you are not sure if the software has gone, it may show any remaining pieces that are set to load.
P.S. You can install malware/ adware if you download installers from some sites like downloads.cnet .com, they have a habit of bundling junk into other peoples software. Make sure you find the developers site or stick to App Store apps. Those huge download buttons are a sure sign that advertisers are trying to confuse users, avoid those sites.

Safari not blocking 'pop unders'

I have the pop-up blocker on in Safari, but when I go to shut down Safari I get a message that there are (at least) two windows open and do I really want to quit. More often than not, the extra windows that are open are a NetFlix pop under, or one for screensavers. What gives-shouldn't the pop up blocker take care of this?

See this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1611709&tstart=60

Isn't it time Firefox blocked Pop Unders as they hi-jack the actual browser

Pop Unders, NOT Pop Ups, hi-jack the Firefox browser when they load up. When I close the window with the pop Under, the whole Firefox browser closes. I would have thought that Firefox would be annoyed at this as the Pop Under advert has taken over control of the browser.

What is the web address? What is on the pop?
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

How to get rid of Pop Ups, Pop Unders and YouTube ads

Ever since AdBlock stopped working in Safari, I've searched til no end for another program, or extension, that will get rid of all pop ups, pop unders, and YouTube ads and banners for Safari. Nothing.
This astounds me because I've never known Mac gurus to not be on top of somthing like this. Are there any alternatives? I only use Safari and not Firefox or Chrome.
I've downloaded Glimmer Blocker but it doesn't stop pop-unders at all. Is there a hack to get it to? What is everyone else doing? I can't imagine people are just putting up with the bombardment of ads! Please, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings!
Just to double check but did you made sure to download the latest version of the extension and ensure that it was enabled inside the Safari setting's menu?
Let us know!
