Pop up blocker not working. Blocking windows that I don't want it blocking.

I now have Ad Blocker 2.4 and Ad Blocker Plus Pop-up Add On 0.9.1. , and I have the Block Pop-ups box checked in FF options. Recently FF stopped notifying me, (via the bar across the top of the window, which also asked whether I wanted to allow the window), when a popup was being blocked. More recently still, something seems to be blocking some links from opening windows. This doesn't always happen but it seems that perhaps it happens more often when .pdfs are involved. Have I done something wrong? Is the a conflict with the Ad Blocker stuff and the newer FF upgrades?
I guess that there also might be a problem with Adobe since .pdfs seem to be involved. Anything you can do to clear this up would be greatly appreciated. OS is Win7 64

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.

''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

  • I forgot my security question answers and the info apple has is not working for me and I don't want to call them, how do I reset my security questions?

    I forgot my security question answers and the info apple gave to me didn't help, how do I reset them, I also don't want to call them?

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665 :
    If you have three security questions and a rescue email address
    sign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers (the steps half-way down that page should give you a reset link)
    If you have one security question and you know your Apple ID passwordsign in to My Apple ID and select the Password and Security tab to reset your security question.
    If you have one security question, but don't remember your Apple ID passwordcontact Apple Support for assistance. Learn more about creating a temporary support PIN to help Apple confirm your identity when you contact Apple Support.
    If you can’t reset them via the above instructions (you won't be able to add a rescue email address until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset - which is likely to be by phone as they need to confirm your id and that it's your account.

  • Correct version adofe flash installed but does not work; get message that I don't have it installed or not plugged in???

    I've installed adobe flash player per firefox instructions and a test says I have installed correct version and installed successfully, however when I try to use an application on myspace that needs it I get a message that says you either don't have adobe flash play installed or you have Java turned off? I really don't get this? What I'm trying to do is change my background on my profile page.

    Hi Chris - I can see both videos.  Perhaps it's just Flash Player videos
    embedded in blog posts that I can't see - could that be it?  For example, I
    can't see the embedded video on the following page.  I just see black space
    with purple lettering telling me I need to download Flash Player:
    http://www.breitbart.com/Breitbart-TV/2012/11/16/Pelosi-Displays-Frightening-Lack-of-Knowl eg-on-Amendments-of-the-Constitution.
    Doing a quick search on youtube, I would bet this is the same video (or a
    portion of it), and I can see this on youtube:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2SC7yXKFBI.
    Can you tell me where on my computer files I can find the installation of
    Flash Player?  I just don't see it anywhere, yet obviously I've got it
    somehow, since I can see the videos you sent, but then again I can't access
    embedded videos . . . .
    Thanks,

  • How do I remove an update from the app window that I don't want to update or download?

    The Mac app store keeps telling me I have a software update for a app I have deleted from my computer. How do I get rid of it.

    If the application came with an uninstaller, you should use that.  If it didn't, usually dragging the app from the Applications folder to the trash is sufficient. 
    You could go to categories and find the errant app.  If it has a formal uninstaller you could download it again and then follow their uninstall procedure.   It will cost you nothing as you originally paid for it.
    If not you can try a program like AppDelete.
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/31123
    But a little light reading via typing in 'Deleting Apps' in the search box is often as good a way to pick up specialist advice.
    Hope this goes some way to helping.

  • Activesync not working for Windows Phone with certificate

    We have a new Exchange Server 2013 setup and using activesync.  We have setup a policy to require simple password and to send an email to provision a device when it connects.  Activesync is setup to use self signed certificates,  this was
    tested first on the Ipad.  Certificate installed entered the settings and the device appeared in the quarantined devices list awaiting to be approved.  This was also done on the Iphone and worked. 
    When putting the same certificate on the windows phone device it errored with there is a problem with {as.domain-name.net} and does not appear in quarantined devices screen.
    I tested again with another Ipad and an android device and they work without an issue.  Tested with a Windows RT device and got the same issue.  If I look in the IIS log files I can see the windows device making a connection then when I presume
    to be the error 500 at the end of the line. 
    This is not a user issue as I can use the same user on the various devices.  The windows devices just do not want to connect.  We have looked at the certificate but if it works for apple and android devices why does it not work for windows? 
    Is there any additional security settings that need to be turned on or off for windows phones?  Is there something specific on the certificate what windows devices need that others ignore?

    I did inital think it might be a widows phone issue but there are no other settings for me to use.  I have also tested using a windows 8 surface and I get the same issue.
    I have raised the event log level on the exchange server to expert and I have seen 2 messages when I try to connect. 
    I get Event ID 1100:  Exhcnage ActiveSync device requests for your uses are being blocked.  This problme frequently occurs when HTTP OPTIONS method is not allowed.
    I know it is allowed as the test exchange connectivity worked and passed that test.
    The other error Event ID 1309 ASP.NET warning.  Part of the exception messge is DeviceTypeMissingOrInvalid
    I have come across a comment that says for certificates to work you need to use windows intune or SCCM which we don't have.  Do we know if this is true?

  • APPLE mouse & keyboard not working with Windows (Bootcamp)

    I installed Leopard and Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The installation went very smoothly. Only problem I have is that my Apple wireless keyboard and mouse do not work on Windows (frozen) although they work fine on Leopard. I tried a Logitech wireless trackball and it works fine on both Windows and Leopard. Any suggestion?

    Thanks. I upgraded from Tiger and downloaded Bootcamp from Leopard Installation disc ( I did not have a beta version ). I then installed Windows XP SP2 ( brand new, just bought for that purpose ). Wonder if Mac wireless keyboard and mouse are compatible with Window. Everything else work beyond my expectation.

  • Flash player does not work in Windows 8 tiles

Flash player does work in Windows 8 desktop internet Explorer 10. I tried all of the recommended fixes suggested by adobe Flash Player Issues/windows 8 page.

  • ITunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows - Fix??

    Hi everyone,
    I had issue after issue with the latest iTunes update (12.1.1) not working on my windows 7. It simply would not lunch when clicking on the shortcut to open.
    After a fair bit of searching I found this alternative version which seemed to do the trick and now it works:
    iTunes 12.1.1.4 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - iTunes64Setup.exe(2015-02-18)

    The "for older video cards" installer - which, like most prior "64 bit" versions of iTunes, is actually a 32 bit application with a 64 bit installer - may be a useful fallback if the full 64 bit version does not install or run correctly.  Although 12.1.1.4 is a major improvement over 12.1.0.71, there are clearly still some lurking incompatibilities with some 64 bit Windows systems/components.  It is, however, a little misleading to say that "iTunes 12.1.1 does NOT work with Windows" - in many cases it works fine without switching to the alternative version.  I have the full 64-bit version of 12.1.1.4 running on three systems - two Windows 7 and one Windows 8.1 - no issues with either installation or operation on any of them.

  • HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).

    I lost my original CD-Driver and I tried to download the CD-Driver on HP website but it doesn't work when I click printing.  It seems that my HP Laserjet P1006 is not working on Windows 7 (64-bit).
    Can anyone give me a link that works for installing driver for HP Laserjet P1006 for Windows 7 (64-bit)?  
    Thanks for helping!

    Hi @achieverone ,
    I can help you with finding the drivers for the Laserjet P1006.
    Just to clarify, you were able to install the printer software, but it just isn't printing correct?
    Here are the two drivers available for Windows 7 64 bit.
    HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver.
    HP LaserJet P1005/P1006/P1500 Printer Series Full Feature Software and Driver.
    Try and print a hardware self test on the printer to find out if it is a hardware or software issue.
    Open and close the lid five times quickly. It should print off a page with black lines on it.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a great day!

  • Flash 10.2 not working in Windows 7 IE8 despite 'successful' installation

    Hi there,
    I downloaded flash player to attempt to view flash media on sites such as bbc website and youtube.
    Despite the installation claiming to be successful, I still cannot view video on any sites I have tried.
    (bbc website says I don't have the correct version, youtube says I need to upgrade)
    My system details are as follows:
    Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit operating system
    Internet Explorer 8.0.7600.16385IC  (it makes no mention of being 64-bit)
    Flash Player 10.2.152.26
    I have tried following the troubleshooting guides on the adobe website, particularly 'Flash player does not work in Windows 7'
    but I have not managed to fix the problem.
    I've also gone through several threads on this forum, relating to similar problems, but I'm sorry I haven't been able to fix it.
    So far, the stuff I have tried is listed below, but since it has not worked, I assume I have done something incorrectly, missed something,
    or I have not yet found the right solution.
    The Flash Player does not appear on my programs list, but it does show up in the control panel/list of installed programs.
    I don't know how to get flash player to run on its own, so I can't access settings etc. for the hardware acceleration.
    The folder located at C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash contains 5 files:
    Flash10m.ocx; FlashInstall.log ; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.dll; FlashUtil10m_ActiveX.exe; install.log
    When I visit the adobe page for testing flash player, it does not show me any animation; there is a blank white rectangle with a tiny red 'X' in its top left corner, which I assume should be a box containing the version information if the player had been recognized.
    I have looked at the IE8 'tools/Manage Add-Ons - 'show' All Add Ons, and there is no listing of  'Shockwave  Flash Object'
    although there is a listing of   'shockwave activeX control' which is enabled.
    I've set my IE8 security settings to medium for the categories of 'Trusted Sites' and 'Internet' and I've made sure to set:
    'Download Signed ActiveX Controls' to 'Prompt'  and 'Run ActiveX Controls And Plug-ins' to 'Enable'
    I've tried unintalling the flash player using the specified tool, removing the adobe download tool, and manual re-installation.
    Finally, I tried (with much hesitation) to modify the registry key referred to in the Flash-Killer or 'kill-bit' guidlines.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000}
    The key existed, with a Name: compatibility flags  ; Type: REG_DWORD  ; Data: 0x0000400 (1024)
    So I changed the value from 400 to 000 as suggested.
    This is not worked either, despite uninstalling flash player, re-booting and re-installing.
    Finally, I updated the graphics driver for my ATI RADEON HD 5670 card, but aside from scaring me by drastically altering the screen resolution and not allowing me to roll back the driver, it has unfortunately not solved the flash player problem.
    I appreciate that the people with expertise have given loads of help on this problem, I hope I haven't missed something important when following the advice, but I'm pretty stuck, so if anyone can help, I thank you very much.
    thanks,
    pad

    Hi eidnolb,
    unfortunately, the installation of FP 9.0.280 based on running flashplayer9r280_winax.exe has not worked:
    I cannot see the animation / spinning, there is no animation and no box showing the version.
    (I have included a partial screenshot in this message, file name flashplayer_test_screenshot.jpg)
    Therefore, I did not continue with the instructions.
    The control panel list of programs does show 'Adobe Flash Player ActiveX' as being installed, version 9.0.280.0
    There were no messenger utilites listed in the system tray.
    As you advised, the first thing I did was to modify the {D27CDB6E-AE6D-11CF-96B8-444553540000} registry key value from 400 to 000.
    After modifying the value by making it Zero, I re-started the computer.
    Regarding Administrator Account, I looked on ther 'User Accounts' information, and there is only one user, my dad, and he is listed as Administrator.
    Sorry, but I will need to ask for your further advice. In case it is useful, I tried to get a list of all processes that were running on the computer
    (in case some of them inhibit the installation. most of them don't mean anything to me, even when they are given a description by the windows 7 Task Manager Processes List - I have pasted the text file below in this post, since I couldnt see how to attach files.)
    thank you for your help,

  • SoundBlaster 5.1 not working in Windows 7

    )SoundBlaster 5. not working in Windows 7E Hello all, I installed a SoundBlaster 5. VX sound card into my system: A Fujitsu-Siemens Celsius M430, 3.4 GHz Intel processor, 2GB of RAM and a fresh installation of Windows 7 Ultimate (retail version). I initially tried to use the drivers provided on the product CD, which during installation gave me a bluescreen. After reboot, I downloaded the latest drivers for Windows 7 from the CLE website. But still, the drivers seem to not install correctly - I get a message that the SB 5. VX is ready for use, but the speaker symbol still shows a red cross and when I click on it, Windows suggests me to re-install the drivers, which gives me the same results even after rebooting. In the Device Manager, the device has a yellow exclamation mark besides it. Additonally, I may mention that the onboard sound device is a SoundMax onboard system, which I now have disabled. Anyhow, the SounbdBlaster is recognized by CLE AutoUpdate software (but needs no update according to the mesages). I'm a bit thrown up, did anybody encounter the same problems or have a solution yet? Cheers Dennis

    I have a subwoofer and 5 speakers (2 for front, 2 for rear, 1 for center)...Philips MMS460 5.1.  Connection to the on-board RealTek HD Audio is simple, orange for the subwoofer, green for front and black for rear.I have already tried downloading the latest drivers from the motherboard manufacturers website,I have tried connecting the subwoofer connectors to different jacks (reversed black and green).
    I have experimented with the settings in the RealTek HD Audio Manager and Control Panel->Sound windows.  Nothing works.
    These exact same subwoofer and speakers worked perfectly fine in vISTA Home basic
    1. Disconnect the speaker system from the pc rear audio panel
    2. Remove the on-board audio using the "Add or Remove Hardware" option in Control Panel
    3. Reboot the pc, install the driver.  Re-connect the speaker system.
    4. Using the Sound applet found in Control Panel, configure the speakers for surround sound
    5. Reboot the pc.
    And now resume all of that ...i have been on Realtek hd audio manager->Speaker configuration set on 5.1 making the test ...EVERITHING WORKS FINE but ...finally when i open for example WINAMP AND PLAY A SONG ....is only  played on front *or stereo..So on what im wrong?
