What does this mean when I try to open a new window "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined

The above message pops up when I click on new window, once I click OK the message goes and a blank new window does appear. It has also just happened when I was in BBC language site and tried to open a link, the message appeared but once I clicked OK the message went and the link did open. It does not happen when I open a new tab. This has only just started to happen over the last few days.

This issue can be caused by the McAfee Site Advisor extension

  • When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get an error message

    When I try to open a new window in Firefox, I get the following error message:
    "Not Found
    The requested URL /en-US/firefox was not found on this server."
    ...but other websites, such as Google or CNN.com, work just fine.
    I'm running Firefox 3.6.28 on my MacBook Pro, with OS 10.4.11. I can't update to the latest version of Firefox unless I update my OS, which would be costly and also involve increasing my RAM.
    But the Firefox homepage worked fine until this morning. Is this likely to be a temporary glitch? If not, how can I fix it?
    Thanks,
    Emmy

    At least at the moment, the default Firefox homepage is back! So maybe this was a momentary glitch. But see below.
    BTW, here's the URL for the page:
    http://start.mozilla.org/en-US/?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
    '''But, '''the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" currently lacks a menu bar at the top with various Google options such as "Gmail," "more," etc. I found these very useful.
    I'm wondering -- did Google tell Mozilla to stop including those links on its start page? Maybe Google wants us all to switch to having Google as our default homepage. Or is the lack of a menu bar just another temporary glitch?

  • I am getting an Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined. This only happens in firefox. Chrome or IE is not affected.

    When I open or request a page by clicking on a link I get the Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined message every time. Until I click on the ok button the page will not open. I also now have to copy and paste page addresses almost every time I open a new firefox page. This is not happening with other browsers.

    Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
    * "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
    * Do a Google Search no problem
    * It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

  • Updated to 6.0 and it starts with this error: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined

    Just updated to 6.0 and now when I open it it starts with a popup box that says:Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined. If I close it it opens a new window with the same popup box. I've tried to re download but the same thing happens. Any ideas?

    # Switch back to default theme
    # If you are using '''McAfee Site Advisor''', disable it.
    # If you are not using '''McAfee Site Advisor''', disable all the extensions and try enabling one by one.

  • Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser

    Question
    Recently, whenever I try to open Firefox, I get a dialog box: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: brw is undefined (JavaScript Application). Firefox is definitely my default browser.
    After clicking OK Firefox opens.

    Doesn't work out for me either, so I keep it disabled, because it slows down the searches, and it won't stream its additions onto the pages after the first page of search results. Streaming or page zipping allows me to scroll down to the next page of search results without selecting the page number.

  • What does this mean when burning CDs...Error code 0x80020022?

    I'm trying to burn data to a CD. I get the above error message, plus the error message "Burning the disc failed because communication to the disc drive failed. Error code: 0x80020022."
    This has happened with 3 blank CDs. I followed the standard advice to use a different brand of CD (although I typically use imation CD-R media). How can I get Macbook to burn data to CD, and what does this cryptic message mean?
    Thanks,
    Dan Neunaber

    It seems I have corrected the error myself. I reset my PMU (I think), and now it seems to burn beautifully. With the same type cd's that it did before.
    You can find instructions on how to perform this operation here. It only takes a few seconds. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
    Besides now burning beautifully it seems that my apps are now starting up quicker. I would say that I have gained about 30% in speed. Weird. But nice.

  • What does this mean when I am Restoring?

    I have tried all the five 'R's of troubleshooting. When I get to the Restore part in iTunes, it tells me "There was a problem downloading the ipod software for the ipod 'iPod'. The requested source was not found."
    Does anyone know what this means? I have a 4th or 5th Generation iPod with the click wheel.
    It also makes a click click sound while it's plugged into the computer. All my songs have been erased and it does not recognize it in My Computer at all. Thanks so much.
    4-5th (2 yrs old)Generation 20 GB click wheel (no color)   Windows XP  

    replying to quynh8
    Well, in My Computer, it doesn't recognize the iPod at all. I think it's dead. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!! :)
    let's keep pursuing Yin's suggestion. sometimes an ipod won't show up in Disk Management unless you put it into disk mode first. if you put her into disk mode, does she show up in Disk Management?
    Putting iPod into Disk Mode
    ... for a little more information on the possibility that Yin is checking on (a Windows drive letter confusion), see the following document:
    Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear
    (you aren't getting the classical symptoms of a drive letter confusion, but it's worth checking on.)

  • HT203261 What does it mean when I try to type an emoji and the it takes me straight home?

    When I try to type an emoji it just takes me straight home and won't let me use my emojis

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Restore from your back up is the fast and best solution. If that's not possible then: What version of iphoto? How to progress from here depends on that.

    Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions

  • What does this mean when iTUNES says this...

    "Songs on the iPOD cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."

    When the iTunes library is larger than the iPod, iTunes creates a playlist at random that fits.
    You deleted this playlist.
    Select the iPod in iTunes.
    Click the Music tab.
    Select the playlists you want on the iPod.
