I worked with a Microsoft tech who did exactly what you suggested - but I believe she was not the first to try this uninstall - re-install. And of course re-boot. So we all immediately "knew" the...

To be super clear -

I would like to pursue the fact that the internal cam and also the external Logitec cam DID work for 2 years under Windows 10 (even tho the drivers are only for Windows 7 and were never supported by...

I have a Lenovo Laptop W520 which I upgraded 2 years ago from the original Windows 7 to Windows 10
No cam problems at all - ie the Lenovo cam worked with Windows 10

Yeah so, sorry to report, that after refreshing, a few other past issues were in fact solved. BUT the annoying anomaly was not and it was reproduced fairly quickly.

Ho Hum

Dear All

Well I just now tried Simrik's suggestion of using Firefox in Safe mode - and it took all of about 2 tries to produce the unwanted effect of opening 18 unwanted identical pop-up windows. ...

In order for that to be relevant for my situation (please do read the thread) It would have to be a mouse and not a touch pad - On any OS and not only Windows 10 On any browers and not only firefox ...

That site does in fact produce the anomaly occasionally as I mentioned and not constantly as I mentioned - I do have issues with unwanted advertising pop-ups but that is not the issue. Also as...

As I said - it happens on that site quite rarely - perhaps one in 10 times I try to open it.

Here is one of the sites that the combination of Windows 10 and firefox produces the annoying problem of multiple identical unwanted pop-ups:

When your information is...

I sent a screen capture of what it looks like. It does NOT happen all the time. It happens on different sites irregularly. I have not noticed this happening on non-Israeli sites. It may be...

Like I said - It happens more on one particular site but still on other sites - but so what? It is a particular phenomenon where I desire to open 1 window and get 12-20. This only began after I...

Yes I do use a popup blocker to stop advertisements - but I am not trying to stop pop ups - I am trying to stop a desired pop up from opening multiple identical (unwanted) windows. I want one not...

Could it be because I did not restart the firefox

Any other ideas?

OK - I changed it from 20 to 1

Lets give it a few days and see what happens - (or hopefully does NOT happen)

In that case do I not want to leave the possibility for ONE pop-up which I actually wish to appear? (so should I change it to 1 instead of 20 there?)

In that case do I not want to leave the possibility for ONE pop-up which I actually wish to appear? (so should I change it to 1 instead of 20 there?)

I suppose it is possible - it is never predictable and not constant. It can happen a few times in a row or not for a few days.
What you would see is 10 to 20 identical windows opening all within...

Ever since I installed windows 10 (and never before) My firefox has been showing a repeated annoying problem.

Within certain sites where I wish to open a new window (to open and expand a small...
