Funkola Member 72 Posts 1/05	Posted - Nov 28 2005 : 9:02PM Link to article: http://www.petebevin.com/archives/2005/03/10/firefox_popups.html It 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.

I did check it and default 1.5 profile has "privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins" key at about:config and Value is "2". So you don't need to do anything. ps: i know, your post was posted day or 2 days before Firefox 1.5 was released. Edited by - 1on1Fan on 12/1/2005 9:01:49 AM [Link]

1on1Fan Member 273 Posts 8/03	Posted - Dec 3 2005 : 9:18AM Funkola: Maybe they need to create a new Firefox profile. http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile Or update Firefox extensions, if they use any. And all Browser Plugins, like Adobe Reader, QuickTime. new Adobe Reader version works better with Firefox, that is what they said, i did not have any problems with old one. And/or scan their pc with spyware killers, like Ad-Aware and Spybot - Search & Destroy. And with antivirus programs. And/or update their pc with Windows Update. I don't know, i have NO problems, with all 5 PC:s. sorry my bad english. Edited by - 1on1Fan on 12/3/2005 9:24:44 AM [Link]
