Why doesn'tV 5.0 Popup blocker block poopups on Windows XP Pro

I am running Firefox V 5.0 on Windows- XP Pro and XP Home. I have set the popup blocker to block popups as I did in older versions of Firefox (which worked very well), but popups are not blocked in this version.

Why did they bury the popup blocker settings?!

This is very annoying. No more cmd-shift-k.

Safari>preferences>security.
No one here is privy to Apple's design criteria.

Why doesn't the download popup window do what I tell it to?

In most cases when I download files, I want the popup window to ask me how to handle them - and it does. However, I have a subscription to the NYTimes crossword puzzles. For this type of file only, when I click on a file I want to open it immediately.
The popup window knows how to open these files: it says
You have chosen to open ....
What should Firefox do with this file?
Open with _Across Lite_
Save File
Do this automatically for files like this from now on (This option is checked, but I get the popup window anyway. Does automatically mean something different for you than it does for me?)

The server could be sending the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header. Install the InlineDisposition add-on and see if makes a difference.

If that doesn't help, the server could be sending the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' header.
# What is the file extension for the crossword puzzles that you download?
# Click the ≡ Menu Button and choose Developer, then Web Console (or press Ctrl+Shift+K).
# Load the web page with the file download link.
# Click the Clear button in the Web Console.
# Click the download link.
# In the Web Console, click the file request in question to examine it. In the little window that pops up, in the Response Headers section, what is the Content-Type header? It would be helpful if you'd [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?|provide a screenshot]].

Why doesn't the file progress show in the Activity Window

In Dreamweaver CS6 the file progress in the Activity Window doesn't show. In DW CS5 and before you could monitor the file as it uploaded. You could see how much of the file in increments was uploaded. Now the blue progress bar displays but I have no way of knowing how much of the file has uploaed until it's done. Is there a way to put that back yo how it was?
Thanks

I found the answer to this problem at this link:
http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/06/ftp-improvement-in-dreamweaver-cs6.html
Seems the activity window has in fact changed in CS6. To see the progress you hold your cursor over the file you are transferring.
Not sold on DW CS6 so far to be honest...

Why doesn't PS open on IMac now (does open on MacBook Pro) without signing up for CSCloud version?

Out of the blue Photoshop will not open on my iMac. Instead a message to purchase iCloud version of Creative Suite and never lets me open Photoshop afterward. It prevents me from using my "Big Mac" for creative work and production. I own and use CS6. I dont want the iCloud version. Photoshop, however, DOES work on my MacBook Pro. BUT I want to use my big screen for design work. Creative Suite offer asks for my serial number.

It's telling you the exact situation: PowerPC applications are not supported under Lion, and will not be in any future version of Mac OS X. You would need to get updated software from NetZero that supports Intel-based Macs - and the NetZero tech obviously doesn't know what s/he is talking about; it's absolutely their software. If your MacBook came with an earlier version of Mac OS X and you're willing to revert from Lion back to that older version, that would get you back PowerPC support. Of course, you'll need an external modem with your MacBook; I presume you have one?
Otherwise, you're probably have to stick with your iBook.

Why doesn't my built in super drive accept my windows installation disk?

Hi there,
I have a imac mid 2010, as said im trying to install windows 8.1 onto it but my disk keeps getting spat out after I put it in when asked for via the bootcamp installation. Now I know the disk works 100% as I have put it in another computer and booted it, also this happens with a windows 7 disk i have.
I have sort of tested the super drive by putting a random music CD which gets read fine and plays fine.
Does anyone know of anything to do with this?
or how I could test the super drive further?
Thanks in advanced.

Hey guys,
I haven't fixed the specific problem but I found a work around. Sorry if these instructions are hard to read any questions please let me know,
I wanted to make this post just out of courtesy of chscag being the only one the has helped me across many forums.
So hopefully I can edit and paste this fix into my 1st post and maybe get the tittle change to the thread because this is actually a windows 8.1 process and I'm not sure if it will work for other versions of windows.
NOTE: I'm not sure how good I am at explaining things here I just thought I would get this info down as I found it really tough and took me some time to get windows on my machine. So if you have any question please feel free to ask.
To start off forget everything in this thread!! Also remember I have a Imac 27" mid 2010 with a super drive that doesn't seem to work.
So here is what you need according to the way I managed to do this...
1. Windows 8.1 (either a downloaded iso or a install disk)
2. USB over 4gb
3. Another windows computer with access to the internet
I think these are the basic things you will need off the top of my head right now.
So step 1
This step is if you have a windows 8.1 disk.
If you find that when you run the bootcamp your superdrive doesn't accept your windows 8.1 disk then you need to do the following.
Get your windows disk and go to another windows computer (I'm sure you could do this on a mac os as well but I'm not mac savvy so I prefer to do this on a windows computer).
Now we are trying to get the iso image and burn it on to our windows computer. So we are going to need some software for this, I used Download | BurnAware
1. Install this software which I think is pretty simple.
2. Once installed run the software, click on copy to image.
3. You need to set where you are going to copy this iso file from. So put your windows disk in and then from source please select your optical disk drive. (The disk may auto run, So just let it do it's thing and the 1st chance you get to cancel the installation do it and quit out of the application)
4. Now under destination select browse, Navigate to to where you want to save this iso file, (I made a folder on my desktop for easier finding) then name it something like windows8 and then click save.
5. Now click copy
6. Wait until this process is done, once it's done you can close the application and your iso image should be where you selected to save it when doing step number 4.
Feel free to remove the software after you have done this if you want.
Now that we have a iso image we need to get to this onto a bootable usb drive.
Lets prepare our USB 1st...
1. Plug your USB into your windows computer.
2 .Important!!! Back up everything on this USB if you have files you wish to keep on this USB, After the next step all your files will be deleted that are on this USB.
3. Now go to my computer and you should see your USB stick. right click and go to format
4. I'm pretty sure you can leave everything as it is and please make sure quick format is selected. Then hit start. This shouldn't take long.
That's our USB prepared.
Now it's time to get our ISO image to our USB stick. For this we will need some software.
I used this, get the free trial and install it. ISO CD DVD image creator, editor and ISZ DMG DAA UIF to ISO converter - UltraISO can extract/create/edit/convert CD and DVD image files directly, make bootable CDs and convert ISZ DMG DAA UIF to ISO.
Now make sure you your USB is inserted.
1. Go to the ISO file that you burned to your windows, Double click it this should bring up a dialogue box from the software we just downloaded.
2. Click continue to try.
3. Now you should see your ISO loaded into this software, if it looks confusing don't worry just do as I say and you should be fine.
4. Up the top you should see, File, Actions and Bootable.
5. Click Bootable.
6. Go down to the 4th option and click "Write Disk Image"
7. A write disk image box should pop up.
8. Under disk drive make sure your USB is selected. (Don't need to click the verify box)
9. Double check next to image file it should your image path. (CUsers\yourcomputer\desktop\windows8.iso)
10. Go to write method and make sure it says USB-HDD+
11. Then hit write, this will bring up a box saying warning all your on this drive will be lost click yes.
Now it will burn the iso image this make take some time. Wait Until it says Burn Successful.
If that confused you please watch this video on how to use the software. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApRK8av2IOI
Now you can remove the software if you wish. Also safely remove your USB stick and you also can take out your windows disk. (We won't need to the windows computer again)
Now boot up your mac.
1. Go to disk utility
2. Go to your mac os on the left hand side and make sure it is selected.
3. Go to partition hit the plus( +) button, this should make another partion maybe named like MAC OS 2 or something similar.
4. Make this partition the size you want your windows HDD to be, do this by dragging the partition.
5. hit partition
6. Now go to the partition tab again, make sure you have the MAC OS 2 partition selected and hit the Minus(-) button. Now you should see that your MAC OS 2 is deleted and it just free space.
7.Hit partition
Wait until this is done.
Now everything is prepared we can begin the windows install.
You need to reboot your computer and when you hear the chimes or see a white screen you need to press and hold your option key on your keyboard until you see your boot menu.
Should be like 3 disc. Your mac OS and a EFI disk and a recovery disk.
Select your EFI disk and Windows should start to install as normal.
And that is it. Again I'm not sure how good I am at explaining things here I just thought I would get this info down as I found it really tough and took me some time to get windows on my machine. So if you have any question please feel free to ask.

Why doesn't Command+V paste work in email compose window?

The Command+V works for pasting into the message itself, but not for the To, Cc, Bcc, and Subject lines. I have to manually click and paste. Is this normal? Drives me crazy when I'm trying to paste in someones email that is crazy long and complex.

Why do I get random BSOD when using Firefox with windows XP pro 32 bit? Seems to happen since system updates on 01/09/13.

I am using Chrome to write this and no crashes. I have defragged with the system defrager and Defragler both. I bought new memory but this issue happened a couple days after install around the time of some microsoft updates 01/09/13. I have run Memtest and a hard drive test as well, done a power cycle and run a disk cleaner. This only happens when using Firefox.

For one thing, true call blocking (ie. where the call NEVER actually connects through to your number) can only be done by the service provider at their switches.
The best a device can do is allow the call to connect, and then use the caller ID information to compare that to a list of allowed and a list of disallowed caller IDs. That is a feature known as blacklisting, but it is not the same as actually blocking a call completely.
So as suggested, contact your carrier and ask what they can do for you.

Every time I launch the browser the popup blocker option is unchecked. Why does the pop up blocker keep getting unchecked every time browser is launched?

Why isn't the popup blocker exception working for sites I have added? It still asks me to "allow" them.

Even though I have added sites to the Exceptions in the Popup Blocker preferences, I constantly have to press the Allow button to actually go to the next window. The sites are staying in the Exceptions list and I can get there, but something clearly isn't working properly.

I have been adding each domain name that pops up that's different from the original website and Firefox is still asking me to "Allow" it. Very frustrating...

Why does my popup blocker keep getting turned off?

No matter how many times I try - my popup blocker gets turned off the next time I start Firefox.
I've got a current version of Norton running - so I assume there is no known trojan or virus on the machine.
Any ideas?

Mine does that too. I was wondering if it was due to the OS and that sometimes its too much for the 3GS. I've had mine almost 3 years. Maybe someone more knowledgeable will help. :)
(i finally upgraded to the iPhone 5 so I'm looking forward to that!)

After updating to 4.0.1 (linux, x86-32) the popup-blocker prevents to open links from web-pages, e.g. from google news! Why?

I just updated to 4.0.1 and since that moment the popup-blocker seems to block even normal links which are opened in a tab in previous versions.
When I disable the popup-blocker everything works as before (but popups will open of course).

Why is my popup blocker under "options" deselected every time I start Firefox?

I notice that my popup blocker under "options" is deselected every time I start Firefox.
