• Opening of session of Sierra produced several pop-up windows

  

  Since the upgrade to Sierra a series of pop-up windows appears right after the desktop appears.  One is a settings dialog box "analysis of the PC" apparently linked to the Canon MX920 we use, even if the printer/Scanner sharing is disabled in system preferences.

  A second pop-up window is an error Java SDK chronic also appeared after the initial upgrade of El Capitan.  This popup is displayed regardless of the question of whether Java is updated to the latest rev, or once the Pref window disappears completely in the system preferences panel.

  The windows popup to third and following related to the parameters of the firewall for "openinfo" network connections, "openexec" and "openbase.  These popups appear even if the settings of the firewall have been set to 'Allow' or 'Block' inbound network traffic for each of them... and for "openbase" even once the OpenBase Pref Pane has been removed from the System Prefs.  In addition, they appear even after the firewall has been disabled.

  The next update of Sierra should address these errors as soon as POSSIBLE or we will return to Yosemite.

  Changing the settings of firewall to block all incoming connections eliminates the popups mentioned in the third paragraph above.

  The "Scan of the PC Settings" and the Java SDK error dialog boxes always appear after the successful logon.  Running MalwareBytes and ClamXav do not eliminate these pop-up windows.

• A lot of pop-up windows and sticking in the browser behavior

  Have weird ads via safari and chrome. A lot of popup displays in any browser and also a few become clickable buttons disabled and typing becomes almost impossible through any program that uses the web. When you are not running any browser, everything works perfectly fine.

  Recently, my brother was received by an irritating contextual advertising on his Mac. I guided through the steps to remove, so I'll repeat it here.

  Pop-up ads are advertisements that open above or below the window of your browser, in another tab, or as a graphic element in the current window. Sometimes they refuse to leave the same when you try to close.

  If these ads appear, DO NOT give type of important information about your Apple ID, credit cards, etc. If an ad does not close, it's almost certainly a scam after your money.

  To get rid of adware, begin by closing pop-ups that are open. If a window pop up on your Mac includes a checkbox "don't show alerts more since this Web page", check the box before you close the pop-up window. If a window closes (like in the case of my brother) close Safari on

  your Mac.

  Restart the web browser on your Mac that you hold down the SHIFT key. This prevents the reopening Safari automatically all the windows.

  Then, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, and then follow these steps:

  • Click on the security icon, and select "Block pop-up windows" to stop certain types of pop-ups.
  • Check the settings of your homepage and search engine. Sometimes adware changes these settings.
  • Click the general icon and make sure the homepage field is empty or contains the Web site you want.
  • Click on the search icon and make sure that the setting of search engine displays your favorite search engine. In some versions of Safari, this parameter is in the general pane.

  If you still have problems, or just want to check your Mac occasionally for adware - download app in sandbox "Dr. Safetry" in the App Store. It's free for domestic use clean adware, in addition to malware including trojans.

  

• Since upgrading to firefox 26, I get a lot of pop-up windows

  Good so I was using Firefox as my main browser for years. I have little to NO problems with it, but lately the problem of the shock wave. But this isn't a big deal. My problem is with Firefox 26, I was informed of an update for it this morning and I've upgraded to Firefox 26. Now, whenever I use this browser I get ads everywhere in my screen and pop up windows. I uninstalled and used IE for a little while with no advertising cropping up. I went back on the firefox site and updated to date again. After about 10 minutes the ads started popping up. If I don't have a fix for this I'll be forced reluctantly to uninstall Firefox permanently. I am a real estate professional and when I'm in my local MLS a few key words like DATE are highlighted and if I mouse over it says "meet single girls in $$$" with a photo.

  Hello Jwg1978, you have various present malicious addons. Please, try the following steps:

  1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

• Pop-up windows are not blocked

  The last two versions of Firefox were apparently more permissive in the popup allowing. If I go to http://www.popuptest.com/popuptest12.html, all three pop-up windows to open with a call to JavaScript window. Simple open. The only one who gets blocked is when I click on the back button. Should those that open automatically be not who is blocked? I received quite a few advertising popups, and it makes me wonder if window.open() is now ignored.

  Restart in Safe Mode, and then back to the Normal Mode and once again popups are blocked. It was really weird.

  Difficulty of pop-ups in browser that support Safari.

  Common pop - ups include a message saying that the Government has taken over your computer and you pay release (often called "Moneypak"), or a false message saying that your computer has been infected and you need to call a number of tech support (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it to be resolved. First of all, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and that your computer has not been assigned. This "hack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so don't pay not money, call number, or provide personal information. This article will give an overview of the solution to remove the pop-up window.

  Quit Safari

  Usually, these pop-ups will not go by clicking 'OK' or 'Cancel '. In addition, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in grey, including the option to leave Safari. You'll probably force quit Safari. To do this, press command + option + ESC, select Safari, press on force quit.

  Relaunch Safari

  If you restart Safari, the page will reopen. To avoid this, hold the "Shift" key when opening Safari. This will prevent windows since the last time that Safari was running since the reopening.

  It will not work in all cases. The SHIFT key must be maintained at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window is displayed again. In these circumstances, after force quit Safari, turn off Wi - Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then restart Safari normally. He'll try to reload the malicious Web page, but without a connection, it will not be able to. Leave this page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com and try to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet and the page that you entered is displayed rather than the malicious.

• Blocker is enabled in IE9, also tried Google Chrome and still get the pop up windows.

  Blocker is enabled in IE9, also tried Google Chrome and still get the pop up windows.  Popus mount on most but not all websites regardless of the browser used.  Most are a square add in the lower left corner - some with a VCR command prompt.  I don't know how to get rid of them.  I was wondering that if I had a virus that is allowing them to appear - especially since I also noticed that when I click on the links on some Web sites, the link is instead directed to something more than one character of advertising and not where it was supposed to go.  I use MS Security Essentials and also run Malwarebytes periodically.  Aslso ran "Microsoft SafetyScanner" and no sign of a virus or malware.  Someone at - it ideas?

  Just for fun, take a look at this website because it has some great information for the verification of the malware, etc.. You may need to do your scans in safe mode.

• Cannot print a pop-up or pop-under window

  .. When the popup is really helpful, as in "boarding!

  The popup was not a button 'print '. In addition, a right-click on the pop-up window is not a PRINT option, and not being a popup, there is no menu either.

  This is a serious omission by FF.

  You can use {Ctrl + P} to print in this type of situation.

  Regarding the absence of a menu item print from the context menu, Firefox has never had a. But there are a few extensions that add to this context menu item. I use this one:

• Uncloseable pop-up windows in firefox for mac

  Hello

  Some Web sites will open the pop-up windows, even if I have a pop-up blocker enabled.

  The problem with these pop-up windows, it is that they have the option close as for other windows of Firefox for Mac.

  This results in the ToolTip remains open and the only way I can get rid of it is to stop completely from Firefox.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Maybe you could try the keyboard shortcut command + W (close the current tab) or command + SHIFT + W (close the current window) when the pop-up window appears in the foreground.

• Pop-up window opens when firefox is open. Cannot close to use the browser. How can I get rid of this?

  There is no text in the pop-up window, and when I click outside the window, there is a tone 'error' that plays. The only way I can close Firefox is to open the Task Manager and end task. I deleted Firefox on my computer and reinstalled, and it has not solved the problem. Included is a screenshot of what it looks like.

  This can result from the AOL toolbar.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe
