N-n-n-n-n-nineteen
- Cathy
- so Troubled Diva's doing a survey of his readership
- Kevin
- ooo-er
- Cathy
- and he's posted 25 questions in 25 different posts, and you have to answer in the comments
- Kevin
- lol
- Cathy
- he has Javascript comments, which pop up and are quite slow to load
- Cathy
- so I'm going through and answering questions in order
- Kevin
- champion
- Cathy
- and on question 19
- Cathy
- 19!
- Cathy
- THAT is when Firefox decides it's going to start blocking these boxes that keep popping up
- Kevin
- lol
- Cathy
- so I click on the box for options, and I click "show [this box]"
- Cathy
- and it doesn't
- Cathy
- and I click again, and now it has two "show [this box]"s, but no boxes are visible
- Cathy
- and I click "allow popups from"
- Kevin
- have you tried unblocking that site?
- Kevin
- else Ctrl-Click
- Cathy
- and I try clicking the link again, and it's blocked again
- Cathy
- and I click "show this box" again, and it doesn't
- Kevin
- aha! :-)
- Cathy
- and I go to Tools, and turn off popup blocking
- Cathy
- and try again
- Kevin
- you may need to unblock the comment site as well as TD
- Cathy
- and nothing happens
- Cathy
- and I give up and use IE
- Cathy
- but I turned off popup blocking!
- Kevin
- yeah, I typed mine before I saw that though
- Cathy
- and why did it let EIGHTEEN boxes pop up before it decided they were bad?
- Kevin
- FF sucks?
- Cathy
- yes!
- Kevin
- if only we'd heard that before :-)
Comments
"All" you have to do is open about:config and filter your way down to dom.popup_maximum and double-click it to increase the number.
Ahh, an intuitive interface :-) Hmm, that's interesting actually.
Go to about:config, increase dom.popup_maximum by 10. Return to troubled-diva.com, try opening more comment boxes.
Yep, it lets me open exactly 10 more comment popups, then stops, blocking any more. Okay.
Thing is though, logically dom.popup_maximum is the number of popups open at the same time (confirmed by Knowledge Base). But I closed all of the open popups, and only ever had one open at a time... and then, returning to the same website hours later allowed me to open 10 more (in addition to the 20 that I obviously opened earlier in the day).
Is that really the correct behaviour? Seems a bit bizarre from here.
