I get the same issue as this when using Firefox to access the site, but I
can't determine whether or not the extension fixes the issue because even
though I have the extension in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins and a link to that
extension in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (which is where the upstream 64 bit
Firefox requires it) Firefox is refusing to use the plugin at the moment, as
it is with a number of other plugins (the only ones its using at the moment
is the Adobe Flash plugin, which is linked to from both directories, and a
plugin that is in my home location and is linked to from both directories.
Sam, when Gnome-tweak-tool refuses to enable an extension (only offers a
remove button) and displays a grey triangle with an exclamation point in it,
with a mouse over that says 'Extension Load Error', how does one determine
why the extension won't load. The extension is Coverflow Alt-Tab, and
implements an Alt-tab methodology that I would like to use (The methodology
that I think this extension implements looks to be similar to the Alt-tab
methodology offered by Compiz).
Thanks very much for the suggestions. I went through the options in
Chrome and still didn't see anything directly related. Pop-ups were
already enabled.
I didn't even think to use Firefox for some reason. Turns out it
worked just fine, however.
