I haven't been able to pinpoint the sequence where it is 100% repeatable, but it involves dashboard and Safari. It doesn't happen all of the time, but when I hover over the Yahoo stock widget in Dashboard a new Safari window is created with the following:
Any thoughts on what is going on? Any ideas on how to trouble shoot what causes this to happen?
I didn't see your post before I posted the same question a few minutes ago. I can't see to make it occur intentionally but it will happen with some frequency when I click on the Dashboard. It's really annoying. I'm not using the Yahoo widget so it's not necessarily tied to that. But it only occurs when I'm in Dashboard. I just installed Lion on a spare hard drive yesterday and discovered that it occurs in Lion as well.
I hope someone posts a way to prevent this.
I have dashboard set to activate when I mouse over the lower left hand corner. I just tried something different after reading your response, and if I leave the mouse cursor over the left hand corner a new Safari window will eventually open (withn 10 seconds)
I agree, it is annoying
I was going to edit my last post to be more explicit - I'm not sure the new forum supports modifying a post - I cllicked on "Correct Answer" hoping it would allow editing (e.g, "correct" the post) and hadn't thought I was marking this thread answered. Still have the same issue where a new Safari window is created with url set to the double click site.
This is happening to me and I didn't see your question before posting mine. If someone answers mine (since it doesn't already say there is a correct answer), I'll post in here to let you know.
Thanks, appreciate any input to resolve this nuisance.
I have posted this on all of the threads I've found dealing with this. I installed the Safari extension called Mindful Browsing. The last time Safari opened to googleads.doubleclick, I blocked the site using Mindful Browsing. I have not had the problem since.
Safari brings up googleads.g.doubleclick.net/ widow when I'm in Dashboard
