How to Make Paypal’s Continue Shopping Button Work in Firefox
Just a quickie, since I’ve seen this question around a lot.
If you follow Paypal’s instructions for their basic shopping cart (the one that takes the visitor to Paypal from your site, with their “Add to Cart” button), the “Continue Shopping” button will not work in Firefox. It also opens the window in a new tab, and may make it full screen height.
The workaround is simple. In each form tag, put target=”self”. Add a new input tag, type=”hidden”, name=”shopping_url”, value=”whatever_url_you_want_continue_shopping_to_point_at.html”.

Hi there!
That`s great to know, but there is a catch with the paypal buttons created on Paypals own site. Hackers can easily access the code of the button, then bypass the “buying of the product” and go straight to the download page (that is if it`s a downloadble product). I just bought a nice software that disables this. It`s encrypted in Javacode, but works just the same as “the real thing”. And the good thing is that nobody can go straight through to the download page, without buying the product.
