JavaScript support does not open new windows
Try http://www.aphayes.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ephemeris/index.html and select the sun or moon option. Works on iPad with Safari but only works on MacBook with Firefox

Works for me and opens a pop-up window when I click the buttons.
That is an input button with an onclick attribute:
<input name="sun" value="Sun" onclick="doSun(observer,1)" type="button">
Do you have any extensions that can block JavaScript?
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
On an iPad2 with latest iOS the window opens but the result of the computations is not there just a blank window.
The Sun page is created by this JavaScript:
This is a requested pop-up window without any special code and should work if everything is OK.
- pwin=window.open("","sun","menubar,scrollbars,resizable");
If that script isn't working the you can check the Web Console or the Browser Console (Firefox menu button or Tools > Web Developer) for error messages.
Did you try Safe Mode?
I repeat this is on an iPad there is no Firefox menu bar, as far as I can see, as there is on a MacBook so your suggestions seem not to be available. These web pages work using Firefox opening a new window with the results of the calculation on Windows (or did when I had a company laptop) and on a MacBook. It is only the iPad release that the window opens without the specified title or calculation results.
So you are saying this is a problem with the Firefox shell browser on iOS and not desktop Firefox?
Moved thread from Firefox to Firefox for iOS section.
