Does Firefox use advertising pop-ups for revenue?

I am thinking about installing Firefox but, I don't believe in a "free" lunch. Ergo my question.
How can Mozilla "give away" Firefox? Is it supported by pop-up advertising or sale of accumulated browsing data?
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C)

No, Firefox is run by Mozilla which is separated into a non-profit foundation and a corporation, the latter receives a percentage of Google's revenue from search result click-throughs via the specific Google default in Firefox's search bar. Installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1865 Adblock plus] extension so no ads are visible on google search result pages or just changing to a [http://mycroft.mozdev.org/all-google-search-plugins.html different google search] will mean Mozilla gets nothing.

I added exceptions for the pop up blocker but most of the time it still does not allow the pop ups for the sites I listed as exceptions

the pop up blocker is inconsistent. i added websites to the exceptions list but most of the times when i load firefox it does not allow the exceptions...sometimes it does but i can't find any reason or consistency as to why it sometimes allows them and sometimes doesn't. They are clearly listed on the exceptions option.
What is wrong?

Pop-ups for parameter value insertion don't appear

Hi,
I am using Web Intelligence for creating a report that allows custom parameter values to be inserted via pop-up.
The problem is such pop-ups for parameter value insertion don't appear on the various web browsers I make use of.
(I.E. versioni, Firefox versioni)
Any idea on how to solve such issue?
thanks in advance,
SC

I suppose that you mean query prompts, that are parameters that are asked to the user in order to filter the data.
Which version of BOE are you using?. If you are using BOE XI R2, that problem happens when you use Java 1.6 (only when editing the document), you should use Java <=1.5 (you can check the error in the java console while you execute the report).
I think that problem was solved in a SP (not sure which SP solves this ¿SP4?)

Need to allow pop-ups for a site

My bank has upgraded their website. I need to answer a question in a pop-up box to be able to use the website. Firefox blocks the pop-up box even though I have told it to allow pop-ups for the website.
How do I get it to allow the pop-up box or do I have to use IE?

I tried that. I also talked to the people who developed and maintain the site. They said it is not a pop-up window - it is part of the site. Since it showed when I tried Internet Explorer they think it is a problem with Mozilla Firefox or my web connection. They asked me to try accessing it with my computer at a public place that offers free Internet.

Open comment pop-ups for highlighted text (on Adobe Reader for Android)

On my computer, I use the software Docear which allows to import highlighted text and comments from pdf documents. This function in Docear only works, if the reader copies highlighted text into the comment fields at the moment of highlighting. When using a reader on a PC, the settngs can be adjusted in order that this works. (Preferences>Commenting>Automatically open comment pop-ups for comments other than notes).
It would be very practical for me to do this on my tablet (Android). However, as far as I know, this is not possible in the Adobe Reader for Android. Or is there any possibility to do this? If not,would it be possible to include this on a wishlist?

Hi,
This functionality is not available for Adobe Reader on Android. However, we have made a note of the same and shall try to incorporate it in one of our future releases.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

You can use the Terminal app to block individual sites but be aware, unless you are familiar using Terminal, best to click your Apple menu (top left in your screen) then click Block Pop-Up Windows from the drop down menu instead.

Modify about:config and allow pop ups for multiple systems

What I need to accomplish:
security.mixed_content.block_active_content = False
Allow all pop-ups from salesforce.com
I need to do this for 70 computers within my domain.
To modify about:config, I've tried editing user.js (I had to create the user.js file as it did not exist in my profile folder) using the batch file below.
Batch File to edit user.js
cd /D "%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*.default"
echo user_pref("security.mixed_content.block_active_content", "false");>>user.js
I've read that the permissions.sqlite file can be edited to allow the pop ups, is there a way for me to edit that from a batch file?
Are these modifications possible without having to visit each user?

You can also use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to specify new (default) values for refs.
*http://mike.kaply.com/2012/03/16/customizing-firefox-autoconfig-files/
Place a local-settings.js file in the defaults\pref folder where also the channel-prefs.js file is located to specify using mozilla.cfg.
pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
I don't know of a way to easily modify the permissions.sqlite file to add an allow pop-up exception. 
You would need an SQLite manager program that accepts command line input to add such a record. 
The main problem would be to get the ID value to be used.
*INSERT INTO "moz_hosts" VALUES ("<id>","www.salesforce.com","popup","1","0","0","0","0");

Does Firefox use Internet Explorer in any way? When I go to CCleaner to delete history, there are always IE files as well as Firefox, my default browser and I don't use IE. It doesn't make sense to me, but then, I don't know much.

I don't know what I can add... thanks for any help.

Firefox itself does not use the IE temporary internet files location, but some plugins will save data to the same place as IE.

Firefox blocks ALL pop ups

Is there a work around this? Firefox does not allow pop ups even when i disable to allow or list a site as an exception.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

I can't get Firefox to allow pop ups - changed setting in options but still blocking pop ups

I have tried to allow pop ups by changing preferences in options but Firefox is not allowing the pop up windows. It used to work before but I can't understand why it won't work now.

Under "Content" in Options, you have UNchecked "Block pop-up windows", yet you still don't see any popups? Can you give us an example of a site that is not showing pop-ups despite you turning the feature off?
A good site to test the pop-up blocker feature is http://www.popuptest.com/ where you can see if it's running or not. More info here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker?s=pop-up&r=0&e=sph&as=s
