[Solved]Prevent users from opening PDF popup

Post#1 by **Perju** » 31 Aug 2021, 11:47

Hi Guys

We are using about 10 Porteus clients in our hardware store.

On different Pages in our online store we have manuals in a PDF.

On Desktops there isn't a problem with that but on porteus the users arent able to close them.(they are opened in an additional tab and the navigation bar is disabled)

How can i prevent users from opening these pdf Files?

Hi Perju,

Are you using Chrome or Firefox browser?

Thanks

Chrome and Porteus 5.2.0

Please use Firefox as it forces opening new links in the same tab when the navigation bar is disabled.
You can also add 'onscreen buttons' and go back to the previously viewed page.

Thanks

Thank you fanthom

Its working

Had to implement a scrolling extension and remaster the iso but now it works fine

Are there any plans to switch to a newer Firefox Version? 91 Esr or so?
