Pop-up blocker: why is the "show the blocked pop-up" menu missing in the options?

There used to be the "show the blocked pop-up" menu item, whenever a pop-up is blocked by the pop-up blocker, I cannot see that menu these days.
Even in the pop-up blocker help entry, the menu item is in parentheses. Does it mean that sometimes the item would show up and sometimes don't?
What happened to this feature? I really loved this one, and it was one of the main reasons I started to use Firefox instead of IE.
Is there any way to enable this in about:config or something?

Thanks for your reply to this question. I believe that "show the blocked pop-up" ''was'' an option in FireFox's built-in popup blocker. As the OP mentioned, it is listed parenthetically on the [[Pop-Up Blocker Help Page|Pop-Up Blocker Help Page]]. Also, I don't run much in the way of add-ons and extensions, and no extensions were disabled when I updated this morning, but nonetheless the option seems to have disappeared. Since this problem doesn't have many "me toos," maybe it only happens under specific circumstances?

Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
'''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
* http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
* clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
* Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
* You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
* "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

Why is the option to reject cookies non-existent on 3.6.8

Why is the option to reject cookies non-existent on 3.6.8? On all previous versions I could reject the bad cookies and now you take a great feature away, WHY?

On Tools > Options > Privacy, is "Firefox will:" set to "Use custom setting for history" so that you can see all of the options available? See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel#Use_custom_settings_for_history

Why is the option to save a pdf as a jpg gone?

why is the option to save a pdf as a jpg gone?

My mistake. This is how it used to work for me in Reader: I hovered over SAVE AS and there used to be an option to save as an IMAGE, and hovering over IMAGE gave me the option to save as a jpg.
So you are suggesting that this all used to happen in Acrobat or AIR, or something?
What I’m trying to do and what I used to do is create a word doc, then save it as a pdf, then convert it to jpg.
Thank you,

Why does the option to watch a movie even appear if it then will not play because not downloaded? Worse, then only 23hrs left to watch!! Paying for what is not delivered!!

ITUNES: Why does the option to "watch movie now" appear & when chosen movie will not play because still downloading. WHY SHOULD THE OPTION APPEAR IF MOVIE CAN"T BE PLAYED. Then when movie is viewable, only 23hrs to watch! PAYING FOR MOVIES WITHOUT OPPORTUNITY TO VIEW does not make happy consumer. Emailed Itunes over and over about problem and stilll paying for services unrendered.

When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
The timeout failure could be due to
Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
Have a nice day!

Why has the option to delete cookies on quit been eliminated from preferences in Firefox 12

The "Privacy" preferences panel no longer offers the option to delete cookies on quit, as it did in Ffx 6, the version I updated from. Has this option been moved elsewhere? Has it been eliminated? If it has been eliminated, what is the last version that offers it? Could you please give me a '''specific, working''' URL where I can download the latest version that allows setting a "delete on quit" policy for cookies.
If Firefox puts the user first, why are your "updates" dumming down on user-settable options, especially one as important as an easy and convenient way to prevent cookies from hanging around till the next ice age. I realize I can manually delete cookies, but this is a pain in the rear, especially since I am missing most of my fingers. All those extra strokes that the ten fingered world dismisses as trivial really add up when you have only 2.5 fingers and one eye.

Your image shows "Firefox will Remember History".
It has a dropdown arrow which usually shows -
"Firefox will Never Remember History" and, what you need,
"Firefox will Use Custom Settings". This opens a range of options.
Is this pair of dropdown arrows not working?

Why is the option to open new links in a new window not available?

Hi, I'd like to select the option to open new links in a new window instead of new tab but the option is greyed out. Can anyone help me on this, please? I tried to untick "Block popup windows" to see if that would help but it didn't.

Do you mean the setting in Options > Tab or in the right-click context menu of a link on web pages?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Why is the option to choose to edit with lightroom adjustment or edit original missing

I am currently using Lightroom 3 and Photoshop Cs4.
Usually when I open file in photoshop from lightroom, I will be asked to choose to edit with lightroom adjustment or to edit original file. However, today, the options were missing, and the file directly opens without lightroom adjustment in photoshop. Is there a setting that I can change? Thanks.

Is there any chance that you sometime checked a "Don't show again" box on the dialogue?
Try pushing the "Reset all warning dialogs" button on the General tab of your Preferences.

Why are the options grayed out??

Why are the majority of my edit options grayed out. I cant copy and paste

OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?

Why does the option to print front to back only appear randomly?

Have only seen the option to print back to front offered once or twice - why isn't it always there?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system?
What are your settings for paper type? Duplex printing is not compatible with photo paper, transparency media or when printing full bleed (edge to edge).
What program are you printing from? Some programs remember their own printer settings regardless of default settings in the system.

Why is the Options/Content Turn off Java check missing. Java won't turn off

You removed the Check box from the Options/Content menu to turn off Java, and turning it off under app's has no effect. Java stays on no matter what I do.

removing useful features to force users to use third-party add-ons is not considered "as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options " your complicating simple things and creating problems just of the sake of it .
the content used to have 3 things, 2 options are gone , load images automatically and enable java script .
the jave scirpt had three sub options that i used frequently
now I'm forced to install firefox 22 ,it will solve the problem.

Why is the option "Open ITunes when this iPad is connected" dimmed?

It's an original iPad running the latest iOS. My host iMac is running MacOS 10.6.8.

I have the same issue but my Itunes opens up when I connect my Iphone. I do not want it to open up. I just want to charge my phone with the usb and only have itunes open when I want it to. How can I turn this off? It seems the box in the options is unchecked and greyed out so as to be unavailable anyways.

Image size pop up menu missing in mail 6.2 (1499) window

I had this problem and it was related to a Mail plugin (Daylite DMA).

Image Size pop up menu missing in Mac Mail

Hi all,
I've just noticed a very frustrating problem with my mac mail which seems to have started recently, for no apparent reason. I have made no updates to my mac mail at all.
Basically when I attach and image to a new email, there used to be a pop up menu appear in the bottom right of the window where you can select the size of the image - small, medium, large or actual size.
This has randomly disappeared!
I cannot find any settings in the preferences for it to reappear. I have made no changes that would have caused this - at least not knowingly.
Any ideas as to how I can get the image size pop up menu to reappear when I am attaching images to a new email?

Well, it seems I have solved the problem. After searching all afternoon for a solution i thought i'd try the last thing on the list - quit mac mail and re open.
It worked!
The Image Size pop up menu now appears again when images are attached to the email.
Despite this, id still like to know what I did to remove it.
Any idea?

Image size pop-up menu no longer an option

"Reduce the size of the attached images by choosing Small, Medium, or Large from the Image Size pop-up menu at the bottom of the message window. The menu appears when you drag or attach a picture to the message."
I used to have this option. I just noticed it isn't there anymore. Tried deleting the mail preference file, but it didn't help.
Any suggestions?
thanks,
clint

Nevermind, I just figured it out. My screen capturing widget saves files as .jpeg instead of .jpg. And Mail didn't like that.
