Steve (and others on the list who may be interested),

Firefox has an "allowed sites" list associated with the popup
blocker.  Therefore, instead of "disabling" blocking altogether, can
Horizon simply tell us what URL(s) should be allowed?

Thanks,

Gee, Kevin, works fine on my machines.  :-)

Your message actually arrived in the middle of yesterday's E-Live!
session, so a bunch of us discussed the problem briefly when the
program ended.  The consensus is:

- You're at least going to get a message about pop-ups and perhaps
about installing a plug-in or two, depending on what you already have.
That's probably unavoidable.  But you should be able to limit the
messages to a one-time setup.

- Horizon support says:

Firefox has a pop-up blocker that should be disabled.  Any other
programs with built-in personal firewalls or internet security
should be set to allow
<http://educause.horizonwimba.com>http://educause.horizonwimba.com, including a
RealAudio stream.

- If you go through the "Setup Wizard" at

<http://educause.horizonwimba.com/wizard/launcher.cgi>http://educause.horizonwimba.com/wizard/launcher.cgi

you should be able to configure only once and be OK from then on.

Hope that helps.  If there's still a problem, let me know (off-list
unless there's more general interest).

Steve
