'\'blue Dot\' Notification Chrome For Mac'

The Microsoft Silverlight player that Netflix.com runs on requires your Windows user account to have administrative rights. To confirm your account has admin rights, try the following troubleshooting steps: Run browser as Administrator • Quit all open browsers - including this window! You may want to print the following steps. • Click on the Start menu in the lower left corner of your screen. • Select All Programs.

Blue dots are not always rounded dots on Special:Notifications page. Search for 'Stretched blue dot' in. And Chrome's own inspector believes the dot is round.

• From the items listed, right-click (or press and hold on touchscreen devices) on your preferred browser icon (Netflix supports Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Google Chrome). • Select Run as Administrator. • If prompted, select Allow. • Use this newly opened window to try Netflix again. • Attempting to stream again from the original browser window will likely result in the same error. • If these steps got you streaming again, your account does not have administrative rights.

Talk to your computer manufacturer/administrator to add administrative rights to your account. Sign in as another Windows user • If you are able to play your TV show or movie while signed in as another Windows user, the new user account has the needed permissions to use the Silverlight player. The Netflix.com player uses the Microsoft Silverlight plug-in, which requires that your OSX profile has administrative rights. To confirm your account rights: • Select the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then select System Preferences.

• From the System section: • In Lion (10.7) or later, select Users & Groups. • In Snow Leopard (10.6) or earlier, select Account. • Make sure Admin appears under the current user name.

If you are signed in as Admin and are still unable to watch, there may be an issue with the permissions on your account. You may want to retry the previous steps while signed in as a different user with administrative rights, or create a new Administrator account and try again. To create a new Administrator account: • Select the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the screen, then select System Preferences. • From the System section: • In Lion (10.7) or later, select Users & Groups. • In Snow Leopard (10.6) or earlier, select Account.

• Select the Lock icon. • Enter your password. • Select Add (+) below the list of accounts. • Select Administrator from the New Account pop-up menu.

• Enter a name that you would like to use for the account. • Enter the account password in the Password and Verify fields, and a hint to help recover the password.

• Select Create User. • Ensure that the option to Allow user to administer this computer is checked. You may now attempt to sign in with the new Administrator account and retry Netflix.

Open a page in a new tab 2. Shift focus to another tab 3.

Page in new tab executes an alert/confirm/prompt popup What is the expected result? Focus remains on current tab What happens instead? Focus shifts to tab that executes the alert/confirm/prompt popup. Processing There's a profound irony here. There's an API for web notifications: This requires permission from the page in question, which is denied by default. But it doesn't steal focus, and as far as I can tell, can't really do anything evil.

Gmail does this for incoming emails, assuming it's granted permission. On the other hand, all webpages are allowed to alert() with impunity. This steals focus, not just from other tabs, but from whole other applications, unless the window manager implements some sort of focus-stealing protection.
