Guest pod Posted August 3 Report Share Posted August 3 http://www.petebevin.com/archives/2005/03/10/firefox_popups.htmlIt turns out that some clever people figured out that you could launch popups from Flash, getting around the Firefox default settings.Fortunately, you can get around it: 1. Type about:config into the Firefox location bar. 2. Right-click on the page and select New and then Integer. 3. Name it privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins 4. Set the value to 2.The possible values are: * 0: Allow all popups from plugins. * 1: Allow popups, but limit them to dom.popup_maximum. * 2: Block popups from plugins. * 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites.

Guest pod Posted August 4 Report Share Posted August 4 It could be a frame or sub-window that isn't loading properly...not your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r3nz0 Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Why do i sometimes get a message saying "this document contains no data" when i go to a new page?To stop this pop-up message:a. Type about:config in the location barb. Look for the line browser.xul.error_pages.enabledc. Change its value to true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest pod Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 That's the best part about FF being open-source, little irritations that crop up can be fixed so easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
