then local Internet addresses are included in the exception
list. Consult your network administrator for more
information. If you still need to use the proxy to get to
the Hardware Management Console, enable Use HTTP 1.1

When trying to close an Enhanced+ modal popup window in Internet

webpage you are viewing is trying to close the tab. Do you want
to close this tab?” You must answer “No” to this question to
close only the popup. Otherwise, the whole application will be
closed.
Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox Version 38 Extended Support Release (ESR).
Ensure that the JavaScript options to raise or lower windows and
to move or resize existing windows are enabled. To enable these
options, click the Content tab in the browser's Options dialog,
click Advanced next to the Enable JavaScript option, and then
