Map Rank and Tab Extensions - 'Untitled' Tab

by **chipv** on Sun Dec 21, 2008 12:14 am

I'm looking into compatibility between Map Rank and Tab extensions so here is a new thread for it.

Map Rank opens up a popup window. By default this should open in a new window but some extensions by default
open popups in a new tab instead which will give you a blank window called "Untitled" and prevent Map Rank from working.

If you have tried Map Rank and get nothing but a blank window called "Untitled"

1. If you have Colorful Tabs, then disable it. Colorful Tabs has no settings to allow default behaviour for popups.

2. If you have Tab Mix Plus:

Go to the Firefox Menu and go to Tools->Tab Mix Plus Options

Now Change the setting for Javascript Popups to Allow resized popups or Allow all popups:

Then Click Apply, close the options window and run Map Rank again.

If there are any other Tab extensions that prevent popups from opening in a new window please let me know.

Thanks

Alternatively - you could code Map Rank to come up in a tab?

Can't be done in Firefox. User always have overriding choice on opening new windows.

Using Tree Style Tabs. I disabled it, and I still had the same issue. Had to change FF preferences directly to open new links in windows, not tabs.

Thanks for the help!
