clicking on link in email within Gmail service displays message about popup blocker

[lebedov]

When I left-click on a link in an email viewed within the Gmail service, ttth displays the following message:

Grrr! A popup blocker may be preventing the application from opening the page. If you have a popup blocker, try disabling it to open the window.

Is there some way to permit one to open links in one's browser (Firefox, etc.) by clicking on them?

I'm using 1.8.20200228 on Ubuntu 18.04.4.

Hey @lebedov ,

thanks for this report. I'll have to test this in the next days. I report back as fast as possible.

Modifying the user agent string might help; see getferdi/sponsors-only#1190

@lebedov

i haven't found the time so far to dig into this issue.
Thanks for adding the info regarding user agent.
Have you tested it yourself?

Your current verison 1.8.20200228 is featuring service-specific useragents. You can define them in the service-configuration.

I guess i would

• disable the service
• edit it and add a custom user agent
• re-enable the service

@lebedov
Update - i just reproduced your issue.
Setting a custom user agent as mentioned in my last post did in fact solve this issue.

I set mine - according to the ferdi issue to:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_2) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/79.0.3945.130 Safari/537.36

Post-work:
I'll update the default user agent for this service in the next build.
