What happens to my Right hand Scroll Bar?

Oldjim · ‎15-06-2007

They probably ran away and hid to get away from the awful colour scheme

More seriously - if you right click on the Window and select View Source is all this present

You could actually compare the working and non working pages which may point to the problem

That`s as maybe... but my eyes are getting old.... and I find the colour restful....... and certainly a lot more pleasant than glaring white space....

see my edit above

This is the page with the "no toolbar" and " no scroll bar"

current_header = mode

and this is the "proper page" with toolbar and scroll bar

that is all to technical for me to cope with... so if someone who knows this stuff. can work out what is going on... I would apreciate it

RPMozley · ‎04-11-2011

Well none of that code would account for the missing tool & scroll bar. It must be in the code to create the new window when clicking the popup.
In Firefox there are extended JavaScript settings to stop sites from moving, resizing and other window changing things happening. I'm not sure if they're still available via the preferences window in the newer versions or not, I'll have to look later when I get the chance.
New windows created by JavaScript links can behave differently from normal new links. They can even have the window open without any location toolbar visible.

That's RPM to you!!

Razer · ‎17-11-2012

Re: JavaScript preferences:
Tools/Options on top menu. Then click on the
Content tab and the third listing:
Enable JavaScript. To the right of that is the
Advanced button.
I personally have everything unchecked. I don't know if making adjustments there will be of any help to you shutter.

shutter · ‎06-11-2007

Will see what happens.... next time I get a PM............BUT.....
Can`t see how that can affect only one "copy" of the page,(with missing toolbar/menu and missing scroll bar ).... when the other "copy" has the full monty...i.e. the top toolbar/menu AND the right hand scroll bar...
Both open at the same time...

Razer · ‎17-11-2012

As RPM has mentioned above, it may be in the code to create the new window when clicking the popup.

shutter · ‎06-11-2007

Yeah.... could be... BUT.. why only on my computer.?
Never mind, guys... I think I will just have to live with it.... it`s just an annoyance really, as there is a workaround....
Thanks to everyone who has given their input and their thoughts to it,........ Much Appreciated...

Been away for a week or so, now I too find the RH scroll bar missing sometimes. When it is missing no other method of scrolling works (touchpad, mouse wheel, etc.). Closing FF and restarting it seems to be necessary.
This coincides with the appearance of advertisements on pages where I have never seen them before, such as BBC News, so I wonder whether there is any connection?
I think the ads are placed by AppNexus, and if anyone has a way of avoiding them I should be most grateful to hear of it.
If I use Chrome instead of FF the ads still appear on the BBC News page, so it is not FF-related.

@kdiment
There aren't any ads on the BBC News page, so you probably have some malware on your computer, which is adding the ads.

kdiment · ‎30-06-2007

Having been busy with visitors, only just got round to sorting this out. It was indeed an infection of malware picked up, I suspect, from a French hotel bedroom (there must be a joke there somewhere but I'm not in the mood).
I found the link http://malwaretips.com/blogs/ad-xtendmedia-popup-virus/ to be most helpful. It took some time to work through all the steps but it seems to have done the trick and restored my laptop to good health.
The infection by ad.xtendmedia was particularly sneaky. As long as I simply put up with unwanted ads appearing then all else worked as usual. However, as soon as I started the lengthy process of removing it, it turned nasty. I was still able to visit many websites, such as BBC News, but any website that might help me remove the infection was no longer available. Google, Plusnet, BT Phonebook were among those "unavailable" sites. I was warned of the possibility of this behaviour in a phone call to Plusnet Customer Services (who quite rightly confirmed that the problem was mine, not theirs), so was not surprised by it.
Fortunately, another PC at home was unaffected so I could use that one to download the instructions and various malware removal tools, copy them to my infected laptop, and run them.
AVG had allowed the infection in and a scan showed nothing wrong. Kaspersky also thought the laptop was clean. Malwarebytes found about 60 files to delete, after two lengthy searches. HitmanPro found some more. RogueKiller deleted some registry keys, and it still took AdwCleaner finally to remove some "residual damage" before the job was complete.
Grateful thanks to Malwaretips.
jim:green link sorted - there was a typo in it mod:end
