Why do I get "Select Input Method" dialog when trying to open tabs on some sites?

This is what I'm experiencing with Firefox mobile on an Android tablet.
On some sites, when I click a button which should open a new tab, I get the "Select Input Method" dialog box. First, I don't know why this dialog is popping up. Second, it is an empty dialog; there is nothing to select, only a heading that says "Select Input Method". When I touch the heading, I get another "Select Input Method" dialog, this time with "Android Keyboard" as the sole item to be selected. It is already selected. Touching it or backing up to dismiss it leaves me on the page I started on. Touching the original button which should open a new tab simply repeats the entire dialog sequence. Backing up from the original, empty dialog, does the same thing.
Once or twice, by magic or something, I was able to get the page to open the new tab. But I cannot confirm what sequence of selecting or backing up out of the dialogs may have led to the correct behavior.
Any help would be appreciated.

kbrosnan,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry it took so long to get back to you.
My wife is working on a project so I'm a little light on details. Apparently she figured out that her Javascript is calling ShowModalDialog and this was what was causing the Select Input Method dialog to open. I don't fully understand the details but she's looking for a different way to do this. I believe she said she subsequently found out that the Firefiox mobile browser doesn't support ShowModalDialog.
She's new to mobile web development (and I know nothing about it) so she's kind of feeling her way. If you have a good resource for how the FF Android mobile browser differs from the normal desktop browser, that wouldbe a big help, I think. Otherwise, thanks for you reply and she'll keep plugging away discovering what she needs to change in her program to make it work for mobile.
Thanks.

  • Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion?

    Why am I getting an app store error when trying to download Lion? Any ideas?

    I would complain really bad and get them to give you a Flash card that they just came out with because they've inconvenienced you so much and  you don't have hours to spend at the apple store waiting for the whole thing to load.
    The only thing about the flash cards is that it will change your whole motherboard so it won't allow you to install snow leopard or anything less, ever again. (as what the apple specialist told me over the phone).
    I would also suggest waiting. It really isn't worth the hastle and you may not benefit from installing it on your old computer... just a thought.

  • Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?

    Why do I get an "invalid signature" message when trying to download the latest version of iTunes?  Apple Support is the lamest excuse for support I have EVER seen.

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    The probable causes are:
    A bad, or incomplete install
    Inability of the program to access the location of those components
    Deleted files, that are required for those components
    What is the exact text of the error message?
    Good luck,

  • Getting error in iTunes 7 when trying to open music store =(((((

    When trying to open the music store in iTunes 7 I get this message: "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again" Help would be appreciated.

    most commen thing will be your firewall
    when you updated itunes your firewall will come up telling you that the program has been modified and needs you to allow it again to connect
    therefor check your firewall disable it to start with then try reconnecting then if that works you can enable your firewall and look in the prog application list to add or allow itunes to work
    this also includes disabling the windows firewall (found in the control pannel of windows xp with sp2 only)

  • Why do I get the message "Insufficient Permissions" when trying to download updated iTunes software

    Why do I get "Insufficient Permissions" message?

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Why do I get the 'PowerPC code' error when trying to launch an Intel-based app from a CD?

    When trying to launch a Flash-based app from a CD on my Mac Book Pro, I get the "PowerPC apps are no longer supported" error. Yet the app is not built with PowerPC code.
    This also happened with Microsoft Office programs soon after I upgraded to OSX Lion, but someone was able to solve that for me.

    It's just a free disc from a photo magazine, but the app runs fine on a Mac Pro running 10.7.3. Could it be hardware related?
    I have actually asked this on behalf of a reader (I work for the company that makes the magazine) who is experiencing this problem, I just can't find any reason why the error would display in these circumstances. I apologise if this is against the community's usual practise - I just want to sort this guy out!
    The app on the disc is compiled using MDM Zinc, but like I said it runs a-OK on Lion everywhere else.
    Any help would be gratefully received and appreciated!

  • I get the Save As dialog when trying to Save, whether using Command-S or File menu

    When trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added  to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    I checked and the files are not stationery pads, Permissions show me as having read and write authority.
    But, when I  opened the files from the finder, the problem disappears and they saved normally. I then removed the files from the Dock and re-placed them in the Dock via drag and drop. The problem re-appears and changes will not save normally. Not being able to use the Dock is inconvenient but at least there is a workaround. Thanks for your help! Before declaring victory, I'd like to watch it for a while for other quirks.

  • Getting loadSourceError using the debugger when trying to open a file referenced by a sourcemap

    Specifically, when using the debugger and trying to open up a source JS file that is referenced in a sourcemap, I now get:
    Error loading source:
    loadSourceError
    Yesterday it was working perfectly. The only thing that seems to have changed was updating to version 36.0

    Initially I didn't post more information as I figured it might be a known bug with the new release.
    I am working on a website which is running locally on my machine. All of my source JS files get compiled into one large JS file along with a .map file:
    component.js
    component.js.map
    component.js ends with:
    //# sourceMappingURL=component.js.map
    The .map file (served from the website along with component.js) starts with:
    "version": 3,
    "file": "/Users/charles.thomas/code/web-xxx-aaa-bbb/dist/component.js",
    "sources": [
    If I go to the debugger tab (with Show Original Sourced turned on), I can search for and see an entry for the original source files in the popup.
    I think that the problem may be that the original source files can only be accessed via the file system whereas the I see an HTTP url underneath each source in the popup relative to the http url of the initial file. If that is how it is trying to access them then it will fail. A few days ago it was working fine, I could search for the source files and see them in the debugger as well as set breakpoints.
