Hi All,

I need to disable Safari's pop-up blocker. The older way of doing this does not seem to work on Safari 5.1.5 http://macmule.com/2010/09/25/disabling-safaris-pop-up-blocker-from-terminal/

the below works:

defaults write com.apple.Safari com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2JavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically -bool YES

But when attempted via MCX nothing seems to be set.. any ideas? (mcx below).

Display Name:   Safari Disable Pop-Up Blocker       
Application Domain: com.apple.safari        
Key Name:   com.apple.Safari.ContentPageGroupIdentifier.WebKit2JavaScriptCanOpenWindowsAutomatically        
Key Type:   boolean     
Key Value:  true

doh!

Application Domain should read: com.apple.Safari & not com.apple.safari..


Wow, case sensitive?!


Yuppas.

Wonder if i've messed over MCX settings by using the wrong case too.

Hmmm...

Also seems the original key works with 5.0.x or maybe 10.6.
