You are now chatting with philipp
philipp: hello & welcome to firefox live chat
philipp: how can i help you?
BATMan_Phln: This chat window keeps closing. This is the 6th time I’ve tried to ask this. I’ve also emailed support but haven’t received an answer yet.
1st I have a window that I want to pop up from my local drive file:///C:/Personal/My%20Webs/Weather%20PU/Weatherpu.htm and it’s being blocked. When I try to allow it in the ALLOWED SITES – POP-UPS window it won’t take the address and only allows “c” and continues to block the popup. I’ve tried “C*” and “*Personal*” but nothing works.
philipp: have you already tried "file:///C:" ?
BATMan_Phln: Yep. After I click ALLOW it just puts the C in and nothing else.
BATMan_Phln: scheme:file is already there also but it's still being blocked
philipp: is the blocking pop-up file showing up?
philipp: *bar
BATMan_Phln: I'm not sure what you mean. Once I click on OPTIONS then I can click on "SHOW filename" and the window will pop up.
philipp: normally, when a pop-up is blocked, firefox is showing a info-bar at top of the page content that states, pup-ups are blocked...
philipp: does it also appear on your local site?
BATMan_Phln: Firefox show the title of the window. In the browser section it show. "Firefox has prevented this site from opening a pop-up window" When I click options I've tried to click on "Allow pop-ups for" and that does nothing.
BATMan_Phln: If I click "Edit pop-up blocker options" and try to add the page, well, I've already told you the results of that.
philipp: try adding "file://localhost/C:/Personal/My%20Webs/Weather%20PU/Weatherpu.htm" once
BATMan_Phln: OK Hang on
BATMan_Phln: When I click ALLOW it only enters "localhost"
BATMan_Phln: and it's still blocking it
BATMan_Phln: All other versions of Firefox have been just fine with this. As soon as I updated to ver. 3.0 I had problems.
philipp: i was referring to this forum entry: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=663120&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a - it was apparently changed in firefox 3
BATMan_Phln: Well, as I said, scheme:file is already there and it's still blocking it.
BATMan_Phln: "Hi Frank,
I've found a way to allow local files to open popups!
If your local address reads: "file:///C:/example.html" extend it to "file://localhost/C:/example.html".
In the popup blocker configuration allow popups for localhost by adding this to the site list.
It worked for me!
Best Regards, Tom"
BATMan_Phln: It didn't work for me.
philipp: then you might wnat to file a bug report for it on: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox&format=guided
