Stop Firefox from stopping popup windows at website used daily

When I select a link to a website used daily, Firefox says it is blocking a popup window. I want to stop Firefox from doing this as I go to these websites daily and am tired of this irritant.

Hi,
Firefox popup blocking settings are in the preferences- have a look under the Edit menu, and the content tab contains your popup blocking options. You should be able to solve the problem by adding the website you're interested in to the exception list. Have a look at the [[Pop-up blocker settings, exceptions and troubleshooting|article about it here.]]

  • How come I am not able to prevent Firefox from allowing popup windows even after I enter the website address under Security?

    I have been using Firefox on a Mac computer for a number of years and have been happy with it. I have recently gone to a different trading platform called Trademonster.com and am having issues with its operation. When I call Trademonster, they told me that my Firefox must allow pop-up windows to operate. I do notice that when I log on to Trademonster on Firefox, it does say ".. Firefox prevented 2 pop-up windows from opening". I have gone to Preferences and under Security entered trademonster.com as a site to have access but I am still getting the signal that Firefox is preventing popup windows from coming up on the trading platform.
    PLEASE HELP.
    Thx.

    Mac uses the Menu bar and doesn't have the Firefox menu button.

  • Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.

    Using Firefox 4 & Windows 7. Everytime I start Firefox from a shortcut to a website it comes up with the following error 'there was a problem sending the command to the program'. The requested website does load after this. with no problems.
    If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

    As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.

  • Stop Firefox from telling you, you have not used it in a while and asking to reset it permanetly.

    I need to permanently, FOREVER, stop Firefox from telling me I have not used it in a while and prompting me to reset it. I have 100s of PCs that are frozen and as far as Firefox is concerned they ARE ALWAYS in need of being reset. This must go away. When Firefox starts on these PCs it MUST NEVER ask a question or prompt the user for anything EVER. All the decisions have already been made for the user and that MUST NOT CHANGE.

    Thanks for the reply. I have heard that about the file, but I need to know how to tell Firefox that I don't care about when it was last used etc. I can delete the file, but it will come back. So the real answer I need is how to tell Firefox "not to check" when it was last used in the first place, not what file contains that information.
    For now I will delete the file then, without starting Firefox I will freeze it and hope that will work. But Firefox needs a way that I can just tell it to not care.
    Thanks again for help,

  • Refresh only page item while submitting data from the popup window

    Hi All,
    I'm pretty new to Apex .....
    I have a form with text items as first few entries and then a radio button list and few text items again. On selecting certain radio button I have a popup window which acts as an interface for the next text item in the calling page. The purpose of having the popup window is that the text item following the radio button takes the input with certain character delimiters along with the data. Instead of using delimiters while entering the data I want a meaningful data to be keyed in the popup window and all the string operation to be done as a background process. I have been successful this far. I'm using the below javascript on click of the submit button.
    javascript:doSubmit();
    window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
    window.close();
    On doing this I'm losing the values submitted for the items prior to the radio button(including radio button). Please note, I have a dynamic action set on page load to reset the values. Is it possible to refresh just the page item from the popup window.
    Also, I tried excluding the window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH'); from the above javascript. It sets the item with the expected value (viewed it in the session items, however I would like to view the concatenated string on my calling page) but following this there is an insert operation which uses all the necessary items in the form. All values except the value returned from the popup window is populated into the table. Am I missing something.
    Any help in this regard is appreciated.
    Thank you!!!
    Regards,
    Ganesh

    Value set using Javascript is only in your browser page but is not yet available in the session. This is why the report doesn't return the expected output.
    Before refreshing the report you would need to set the session state of this item.
    You can set it after you assign the item a new value or before the report is refreshed
    For Interactive Reports, this is available built in
    you can go to Report Attributes >Advanced Attributes -> Page Items to Submit and specify P2_X1 for the field(and any other page item that the report is dependent on)
    For standard reports, you can create a Dynamic Action that is triggered "before refresh" of the report's region, and choose PLSQL as the action types, give a dummy BEGIN NULL END; for the code and specify this item name in the page item to submit field so that it sets the items's value in session.

  • How do prevent firefox from loading(going to) a website(following a link, etc...) that i never want to see again(example: choose now & click on some link in the future)?

    I go to a website(link, etc...) & I never want to go there again, but sometime(anytime) later I come across some page that seems to be useful. I click on a link, and the other required links until I find that it is a waste of time & I then kind of remember having been there in the past & have wasted all this time again. This happening for many different sites over time.
    How do I prevent firefox from loading(going to) all websites that I choose to go to when I have in the(distant) past decided that I never wish to return to: block websites with message saying that I blocked it?

    Hello Cen.
    You need to find an extension that blocks certain sites. I am certain there are many. Search over at [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].
    I hope you find it.
    If you need help, just ask.

  • How can I stop Firefox from restoring minimized windows when I open a new Firefox instance?

    Say I have 10 Firefox windows minimized. When I start a new instance of Firefox, all the minimized windows are restored! Then I must manually minimize them all over again. How can I stop this behavior?

    Did you perform the fixes from the "Preferences not saved" article?
    Try to delete or rename/move the prefs.js file and other possible prefs-##.js with a number and user.js files in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Make sure that Firefox isn't running when you delete files in the profile folder.

  • How do I stop firefox from blocking next window unless I click on OK

    Some how a while back I turned on the feature to have firefox block the next window or page to open. A message pops up "firefox preventing next page to open and at the other side of the screen there is a box that says allow" I don't know where to look to stop this feature. Not sure why I did it in the first place.

  • How to stop popup window using phone layout for display - Responsive HTML5, RH11

    Hello,
    I'm using the new Responsive HTML5 output in RH11. For some of my hyperlinks, I want to use a pop-up to display the linked topic. In the output, the pop-ups work, but they are automatically displayed using the phone layout, with the associated navigation buttons at the bottom, the help title, and so on. I don't want this - I just want a plain popup window. So, I tried to add a Screen Profile, set to 400 x 500 pixels exactly (thinking that this is bigger than a phone, but smaller than a tablet). I also added a corresponding Screen Layout. In the popup properties, I set the popup size to be 400 x 500 pixels. I guess there is something else I need to do to get this to work... but I don't know what that is. (I tried creating a new Window on the Project Set-up tab, and I tried creating a different master page. These things didn't work.)
    Can anyone tell me if what I'm trying to do with these popups is just a bad idea and it won't work well with certain browsers?
    Thanks!
    Alexandra

    I am confused as the responsive layouts are one size fits all, that is the point of them. You have one layout that morphs according to window size.
    Screen Profiles are only used within Multiscreen HTML5 layouts where you can map screen profiles to different adaptive screen layouts, such as desktop, tablet and phone. That mapping does not apply to responsive layouts.

  • Firefox 3.6 - popup windows are unresponsive - can't scroll or enlarge them.

    Since upgrading to v3.6, have had trouble with popup windows. Specifically on Medco.com. The windows open, but I can't do anything in those windows. The maximize, minimize, and close buttons in the upper right don't work, and the scroll bars don't work, so I can't see all the data in the window. Also, the only way to close the window is by right clicking the window on the task bar at the bottom of the screen, and then clicking on 'close'.
    After having that problem with the popup windows on Medco.com, everything in Firefox was running very slowly. I had four tabs open, and they were all painfully slow. Finally Firefox crashed while I was writing an email in Hotmail.com.

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

  • Firing a view based on a selection from a popup window

    Hi,
    I have a main window in which there is "Display Details" button and a view container to hold a view. On clicking this display button I'm showing a pop-up window which will show the user the options to select a particular view. After the selection and clicking on OK in the pop up window the corresponding view should be shown the view container.
    I tried this by firing an outboung plug to the corresponding view based on the selection in the popup window. The problem is I cannot create a navigation link in the window as the popup view is not part of the main window.
    Could you please provide me your insights on how to handle this scenario?
    Regards,
    Vivek

  • Passing Value from a Popup Window Back to the Parent Window

    I am using JSF. I try to pass a value that is entered by users in the popup window back to a text field in the parent window.
    quote: document.forms[ ].elements[ ] is null or not an object.
    The relevant code snippets are shown below. The screen1.jsp is the parent window:
             <script language="JavaScript1.1">
               function doPopup(source)
                    popup = window.open("externalFilePopup.jsp",
                        "popup",
                         "height=300,width=200,toolbar=no,menubar=no,"                    + "scrollbars=yes");
                    popup.openerFormId = source.form.id;
                    popup.focus();
               </script>
    <h:outputText value="Enter the external system file name"/>        <h:inputText value="#{dataManagementBean.ip}" size="18" />
    <h:commandButton value="..." onclick="doPopup(this); return false;" />
    ..........The externalFilePopup.jsp is the popup window:
            <script language="JavaScript1.1">
                function doSave( value )
                   var formId = window.openerFormId;
                   opener.document.forms[ formId ].elements[ formId + ":ip" ].value = value;
                   window.close();
            </script>
         <h:outputText value="IP Address: "/>
         <h:inputText size="25" value="#{dataManagementBean.ip }" required="true"/>
         <h:commandButton value="OK" onclick="doSave('#{dataManagementBean.ip}');"/>
            .......... The script error occurs when I click on this OK button.
    Please point out the mistakes in my code. Thank you.

    I have made some modifications to the code in the popup window. The error reported in my previous posting is gone. But, I still have several problems:
    1. syntax error in the popup window jsp page: line 45, char 21, syntax error, ..., Do you want to continue running script on this page?2. The popup window does not close after I click on the OK button that I coded in the popup window jsp.
    3. The value that I entered in the popup window eventually gets passed back to the text field in the parent window only if I re-run the application.
    The relevant JavaScript code snippets are:
            <script language="JavaScript1.1">
                function doSave( value )
                   var formId = window.openerFormId;
                   opener.document.forms[ formId ].form[ formId + ":ip" ].value = value;
                   window.close();
            </script>
                                       <h:outputText value="IP Address: "/>
         <h:inputText size="25" id="ip" value="#{dataManagementBean.ip }" required="true"/>
         <h:commandButton value="OK" onclick="doSave('ip'); return=false;"/>
    ......What are the mistakes that I made?

  • Why does firefox keep allowing popup windows for Local Yellowbook Pages by Yellowbook even tho I have popups disabled on my computer?

    this pop up comes up any old time, not when i'm clicking another link or anything - i can just be reading a page, or be on facebook, anything, and it comes up and suggests something out of the blue, like "search for your local state college doctors on yellowbook". (example: here is a URL it just brought up in a popup while i was just reading facebook: http://ypeek.yellowbook.com/yellow-pages/?what=doctors&where=state+college%2C+pa)
    I definitely did NOT download anything from Yellowbook and in fact NEVER use it, so that makes this very strange. Also, my brother-in-law (a computer programmer) ran software checks on my computer and cleaned everything up, and there were no viruses, etc. but this still happens.
    can you help or advise? thank you!
