but I’m a bit perplexed over it’s pop-up blocker tabbed window thingy. If I’m at a website that wants to give me further information, I add it to my list of Allow Popups and click again, at which point Firefox opens the would-be pop-up on a tab (although all my other windows are tiled, go figure). Well, it *seems *like it’s trying to open the pop-up on a tab. What I actually get it a blank tab, blank window.
Can anyone help the newbie? I can’t find any info on Mozilla. I really, really don’t want to get back on Explorer. We got a browser-hijack so bad that one of the hijack help sites got very excited and asked us to email them a file, because they’ve never seen this before. Ugh. I’m happy to be a pioneer, but that just sucked!
Can’t help you myself but the main Mozilla site has a forum for these sort of questions. I’ve found it to be very helpful. Raise your problem there and you should get a pretty prompt reply.
Try going to tools and then options. Click on advanced. Under the Tabbed Browsing catagory, it says “Open links from other applications in:” click where it says “another window.”
Report back if this does, or doesn’t solve your problem.
Oh, and do you have a software firewall running? I know that Zone Alarm, and the new Windows Firewall with SP2 have their own pop-up blockers as well, so you may need to allow exceptions there.
