Hum Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I've noticed for a few months now, when I have 2 browser windows open, and try to look at the second, the first window with Neowin, pops up over the window I want to look at. At first, I thought I was somehow accidently double-clicking. Then for a while I thought this was just some Firefox bug, so I tried opening up some other web page first, then Neowin secondly. But today, it's happening again. :huh: The only way to control it, is to minimize the Neowin window altogether. Is this going on with other members ? Is the Neowin window asserting itself some new 'feature' ? Is it really a Firefox (2.0011) browser issue ? This popping up does not appear to be happening with other web sites. (No -- I do not use 'tabbed' windows in Firefox, and do not wish to. Running Win XP Pro, sp 3) It's very annoying to have the Neowin page over-riding my second window. Any help is appreciated.

insanekiwi Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 try updating to 2.0.0.12 and make sure not any extensions like tab mix (duplicate tabs/windows) might be causing this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+.Vamp Subscriber² Posted February 22, 2008 Subscriber² Share Posted February 22, 2008 This is just how it starts. Soon Neowin will override the page your currently viewing, after that you won't even be able to load any other websites. Following this Neowin will place itself on your desktop and will be unremoveable. Precisely one week later, Neowin will become self-aware, and your computer, now only a port to access Neowin, will no longer allow you to shut it down. You must act now before it's too late Hum.

Rappy Veteran Posted February 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2008 Neowin will own us all!, you obviously missed the choice of the red or blue pill. No I don't have that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigapixels Veteran Posted February 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted February 22, 2008 Could have something to do with the Javascript refresh of the topic list at the top of the page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
