TSGL: Firefox

Fri Nov 30 22:50:36 EST 2007

Scripts are something webpage authors sometime slip onto the webpage to
cause special effects on the page which are more difficult to produce in
another way ... but they also are used by certain miscreants to do things on
your computer that you would not or may not like very much. They can be
used, for example to place software on your computer that would pop up
advertisements or porn, and then make it hard, almost impossible to remove
the offensive pop up ... or even worse. Most people prefer to block scripts
because it is the safe thing to do, but it really isn't necessary in Firefox
because Firefox blocks scripts by default. But there are options to "Enable
JavaScript" to allow the software author to "Move or Resize Existing
Windows", "Raise or Lower Windows", "Disable or Replace Context Menus",
"Hide Status Bar", and "Change Status Bar". There is also an option on the
"Content" tab to enable "Java". You might experiment with that (see what
happens when it is checked, and when it is not).

No dice!
I have something called No scripts.  I think this is a firewall?   I think
this may be causing it.
Do you know what it is and how I can make it more lenient?   I have to R
click on No Scripts options at the bottom of my web pages to allow the
sites.

Just noticed that a newer version, 2.0.0.11 is now available. Guess they
found a bug in 10. I doubt if that will fix your problem, but it wouldn't
hurt to download it.

Shoot, that didn't work.
May I E-mail you privately with pictures so you can see what I am talking
about?.  I do not think we can send attachments or embedded pictures thru
TSGL.

2.0.0.10 is the one you should be using so that is ok. 

You say you can't view popups on the pages you want to view them ... Go to
"Tools", "Options", and then to the "Content" tab. If you want to view all
popups (most people do not), make sure "Block pop-up windows" is not
checked. That should solve your problem. However, if you want most popups
blocked, but want some to come up, leave the box checked and open
"Exceptions". Here you need to type the URL(s) of the pages where you want
popups to open. I've never used this feature but my guess is you type in the
URL and then click on "Allow". Because I'm not sure, it would probably be
best to type in the complete URL (such as http://robmeblind.com rather than
the simpler robmeblind.com . 

Let me know how this works (and if you go to robmeblind.com and somebody
robs you blind, I will not admit I suggested you go there.

Thanks Russ,
I have FF 2.0.0.10.  (Not sure if it is Alpha and Beta versions of Firefox
in the "3" range, tho.)
I do think the problems started after an upgrade.  It has always worked very
well until a few weeks ago.

Ok, the problem is with Firefox. 

Do you know when this problem began? Did you "update" Firefox prior to the
problem? What version of Firefox are you running (Go to "Help" and click on
"About Mozilla Firefox")? The latest version, by the way, is 2.0.0.10. There
are Alpha and Beta versions of Firefox in the "3" range. If you are running
one of these, that may be your problem, as the version 3s are still very,
very buggy.

Are you having this problem in other browsers? If so, you problem is
with the settings in your operating system. If not, the problem is
within your Firefox settings. Once you know where the problem is, we can
then try to find the cause.

Hi all,
I am having a problem with Firefox.   I can't view pop-ups ( the ones I
want
to see! LOL).  When I click on something on a page it looks as if it is
transparent and over other text.  This seemed to happen over night.  I
reinstalled FF but no luck there.
FF has been updated and I am not sure if that was what caused this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cyndi.
