Why doesn't the replace option of JavaScript's window.open method work with FireFox 3 or 4?

The photo html files on the Fanac Fan History project's website are now setup to be displayed properly when JavaScript is disabled and reformatted by a php script when JavaScript is enabled. The reformatting adds some features and positions each photo's caption and credits based on the width of the photo and the browser's page width. This worked well except that when a photo page was accessed the browser's back button wouldn't work properly. This was because I had failed to include the replace option in my windows.open statement. The statement now reads fileWindow = window.open(fileURL, "_self", "", true); and this has cured the problem with IE and the other browsers but it still doesn't work with FireFox.
PS: You need to add "Always" to "This happened".

  • Why doesn't the "auto fill" feature of my google bar not work with Firefox 4 ???

    Google bar's "auto fill" feature worked EVERY TIME with the last version of Firefox, but works rarely with Firefox 4. ????
    I have reinstalled my google bar AND Firefox 4, but that didn't help.

  • Why doesn't the track pad zoom feature on my Macbook Pro work with the newest version of Firefoz?

    The track pad zoom feature doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. It did on the previous version. I used to use Firefox as my default browser, but no longer use it very much due to the incompatibility of this version on my Macbook Pro.

    Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
    You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    browser.gesture.pinch.in -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReduce</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out -> <b>cmd_fullZoomEnlarge</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> <b>cmd_fullZoomReset</b>
    browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> <b>false</b>
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • Why doesn't the Radio option show up in the Library in iTunes 11?

    Everything else selected in preferences shows up in the Library (Movies, TV Shows, Tones, etc) but not Radio.  What am I missing?
    I also verified that there is no conflict with Parental Controls.
    BTW, I'm not a fan of the new look of iTunes at all.
    iTunes 11

    Radio is now grouped in with the Music section and appears on the right side of the list at the top.

  • Why does Microsoft New Phonetic IME 10.1 for Chinese (Traditional) not work with Firefox 5 on Windows 7?

    When I use the standard out-of-box New Phonetic IME 10.1 for Chinese (Traditional), I can only input the following sequence of characters, regardless of the key(s) I press:
    ㄅㄉˇˋㄓˊ˙ㄚㄞㄢ
    So, even continuously pressing the same key will produce the above sequence of characters.
    This problem does not affect Internet Explorer 9 or any other programs that run on Windows 7.

    From the Swype website:
    Why isn’t Swype available for iPhone/iPad/BlackBerry/Windows Phone?
    Due to the technical design of some operating systems, it is not possible for third party keyboards (such as Swype) to be offered at this point in time. Please communicate to your device/OS manufacturer that you’d like to see Swype available as a keyboard option!

  • When I right click to save a picture why doesn't the box come up to choose where to put it?

    When I right click to save a picture why doesn't the box come up to choose where to put it?
    Or if I'm trying to upload a pic to a site say for instance a job site and trying to upload a resume and when I click on the button nothing happens.
    This is very frustrating when I have a lot of time invested on the site I'm on and can't upload.

    Ahh.. :)
    A-Go to upper left corner and select preferences. In general tab,there is an option to ask everytime whenever you are going to put your downloading files.
    B-Update your browser and reset it.Might be you are unable to upload because of viruses too. So make sure to scan your pc by a good antivirus. Okay? :)
    Thank you for asking a question

    At first I was not sure what you were asking. After looking more closely, I think I can answer your question.
    First of all, you need to initialize your shift register. This is the array of Boolean results. The first time through it works OK, but subsequent runs are also added on instead of replacing the results, even though you used a local to "clear" the array first.
    You are adding 2 to the iterations and indexing on the new number. This is a so that you skip the first two "bad" values. Therefore, you only have 13 data points and should only be running the FOR loop 13 times. Change the FOR loop count constant to 13 (or get the array size and subtract 2 and wire it in if the number of tests is variable).
    Also, there is an 'In Range a
    nd Coerce' node that will perform the two tests and the AND all in one node. This was not an error, of course, but it does make it a bit easier to read.

  • Why doesn't the video app display libraries with filters?

    Why doesn't the video app display my shared video library like the music app does music? ie. no genre, tv show title. Or how about how displaying them like when i.m using the remote app on my apple tv? Either one of these two interfaces is better than loading four hundred thumbnails. The video app is useless when I want to choose a move from my shared library. If apple wants me to buy movies and tv shows from the iTunes store they should give me a better way to choose them from my library,

    Hi,
    You can also set the iPhone number by adding the Apple ID to the iPhone.
    This links the iPhone Number to the Apple ID.
    Soon afterwards a pop up messages will appear on the Mac saying the iPhone is using it's Number and the Apple ID (if it has not appeared in five minuted restart Messages)
    Accepting add the phone number to Messages as a "Send From" and Receive option.
    On both the iPhone and the Mac version of Messages you can then chose the "Send From " ID or iPhone number.

  • Why doesn't the iPad have a guest screen like the PC for extra security?

    I just want to start off first by saying I just purchased my iPad about six months ago and I'm really enjoying it,but if you're like me,I believe in protecting my privacy.
    I don't like to turn down any of friends or coworkers when I'm asked to use my iPad,but when you have such things as your personal pictures,movies,music,business documents,etc...you'd like to keep them from prying eyes. I thought that with the new iOS 7 update,that issue would've been fixed, but I was wrong. I'm hoping Apple would correct this problem with the next iOS update,it would make a lot of loyal Apple consumers &amp; anyone who's new to purchasing the iPad for the first time very happy to know that feature is available.
    Why doesn't the iPad offer a guest screen?

    Tell Apple at the link below.

  • Why doesn't the CC app work properly?

    I've been using Creative Cloud for some time now and am really loving it, however I must say it is a source of annoyance that the Creative Cloud app just doesn't work properly.
    Firstly, I used it initially to download all my apps, then after an update those apps no longer appeared in the "Apps" list. Now only those that have been installed since that update appear in this list. Why doesn't the "Apps" list display all of the Adobe CC apps that I have installed on my computer?
    Why does it keep reinstalling fonts? I'm always getting "Lush Script Regular" and other fonts being added.
    It regularly comes up telling me that Dreamweaver and Premiere Pro need to be updated, but always I get an error, then the update request disappears.
    I'm regularly getting 4 files that it can't sync - even though they are the same files as others in the folder. If nothing else, why can't I say "Great, got the message". Also, why is the error message just "due to server error" with no advice on how to resolve it? Why is there a server error on only these 4 files?
    It seems to me there are still some teething issues with the CC app, but what I don't understand is why they aren't being resolved much faster, given that this is the portal to the service.
    Of course, given Adobe I doubt I'll get satisfactory answers – a little jaded with their responses. Anyway, thought I'd at least post the questions.  

    Questapo I am sorry you have been facing difficulties with your Creative Cloud experience.  I don't believe it will be possible to address all of your concerns in one discussion.  I would not be surprised if at least three of the issues are related to the same root cause.
    First in order for the applications to be visible are you regularly needing to delete the OPM.db file?  You can find this listed as solution 2 in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.
