Is there a Firefox plugin that will allow me to edit the address in a popup?

Question

The website I'm developing uses a lot of popups. It is handy for me to be able to edit the address in the address bar so that I can append variables and such. FF seems to prevent me from doing this. Is there a plugin that will unlock it again?

Answer 1

This answer from stackoverflow says popup windows with non-editable URLs is intended behavior to prevent spoofing.

It refers to the mozilla bug about it.

Answer 2

you can write the following on firebug console:

document.location="http://yoursite.com";

Then click Run

this will redirect the popup to the new location.

Answer 3

You can do it without a plugin.

Type about:config into Firefox's address bar, and press "Enter." Click the "I'll Be Careful, I Promise" button. Scroll down to the

dom.disable_window_open_feature.location 

setting; then click anywhere within the setting's row to change its value to True. Pop-up windows will not be able to deactivate your address bar again.

dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
dom.disable_window_open_feature.status

are also disabled by default. For more info, you can check this Mozilla Developer page.
