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.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Firefox blocking all pop-ups

My default Pop-up blocker is OFF and I have no pop-up blocker plug in or add ons!! This is typical BS from Mozilla!!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== downloaded newest version

Hello George.
Every single modern browser has popups blocked by default. This is typical for every modern browser.
If you want to disable or tweak the popup blocker, go into Tools > Content. There are options there for it.
I hope this helps.

Every single time I move to another page, I get a pop-up. Yes, I have clicked on Tools and set browser to block ALL pop-ups. But Mozilla seems to be ingnoring.

Suddenly, a month or so ago, every single time I open a new page, Mozilla opens a pop-up window. Yes, I have clicked on Tools, etc and set my settings to block ALL pop-ups. Yet, Mozilla has decided to circumvent this setting. If this situation is not handled within a week or two, I shall find and begin using another browser (not that anyone really cares).

What does that pop-up show?
Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

A script, I can use to block Contentlink pop ups?

Hello everyone,
I was wondering is there a script, I can use to block Contentlink pop ups?
I tried this below, from Macworld forum, I c & p the text onto a textedit page & saved it in Documents, but it stays grayed out when I tried to select it as my Style Sheet in Safari's preferences, advanced tab.
I have zero knowledge on writing scripts.
I know I can use Pith Helmut, however i prefer not to use a third party app for this.I would appreciate any help offered.
Thank you.

Blocking consumer pop-ups

How do I block consumer pop-ups in a macbook? I have safari. I tried downloading internet explorer 5 but couldn't find where to find it after wards on my desktop?] Can you help?

Turn on the pop up blocker.
>I tried downloading internet explorer 5 but couldn't find where to find it after wards on my desktop?
IE is no longer available for Macs and hasn't been for years. Any copy you find will not be compatible with current web standards.

I want to sign in, but I get the prompt saying I have a block on pop-ups and can't sign in. How do I unblock pop-ups and complete my sign-in?

Wanted to play "Bingo Luau" and wasn't able to chat unless I signed in. Tried to sign in and was prompted that I had a block on "pop-ups" and couldn't sign in. How do I unblock this and complete my sign-in process?

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

The pop-up-blocker is not enabled on my browser yet all pop-ups are still being blocked. How can I fix this problem?

I would like to allow pop ups but am unable to. I have tried every option in regards to the pop-up blocker and nothing works. Help! I've resorted to using Explorer for pages in which I need to allow pop-ups.

Upgrade your browser to Firefox9 and check
* getfirefox.com

Unable to open any popup - including from Firefox Menu. This renders me unable even to reset firefox. What could be blocking the pop-ups?

These aren't pop-ups from websites but menu pop-ups etc. For instance, when I try to go to Help, Restart Firefox, the menu popup is blank.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.

How to permanently get rid of ads, pop up surveys and all pop ups

I have recently been getting bombarded with pop ups, ads and surveys coming up on pretty much every Web page I visit. Iv tried many different things to get rid of this. Iv download ad block plus, iv removed all extensions and iv reset firefox to default settings. Resetting firefox did fix this for about 10 days but now it is happening again and is getting very frustrating. Any ideas would be appreciated

Is this problem on Windows or Mac? (I assume it is not on Android.)
If the problem is on Windows, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning those up:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program (on XP: Add/Remove Programs). After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?

Need an add-on to force ALL pop-ups into same widnow

I sometimes overlook pop-up windows because of their location on the screen. The result is that I may accept or deny something inadvertently. Is there a Firefox add-on – or can someone create one – that would force all pop-up windows to display in the same centrally located box, preferably in the middle of the screen, so that these messages can be spotted?

I don't think there is such an add-on, but you can make pop-ups open in a new tab instead and see how that goes.
# Type ''about:config'' into the address bar and press Enter.
# To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
# In the search box, paste ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''
# In the search results, double-click ''browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'' and set its value to '''0'''
# In the search box, paste ''browser.link.open_newwindow''
# In the search results, if ''browser.link.open_newwindow'' isn't at its default value of '''3''', right-click it and choose Reset.
If you prefer controlling the above with an add-on, Tab Utilities Lite is an option.

Disabled pop-up blocker but pop-ups are still being blocked. How can I remedy this?

I have disabled the pop-up blocker, I've added the site to the exceptions list but pop-ups are still being blocked. I have an email program that requires pop-ups in order to compose an email.

Are you sure that you don't another popup blocker installed?
Like maybe as a feature of a security suite?

I clicked to delete a photo but ended up having firefox block all photos on christianmingle site. How do I undo this block?

I was uploading a photo onto christianmingle website, but decided to cancel the photo by doing a right click. It came back saying that firefox will block all photos from christianmingle.com. Now I don't see any photos on that site. How can this be undone?

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
* Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
* Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
* Check the exceptions in Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions
* Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images)
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

How can I get Firefox to block " Netflicks" pop-ups?

Usually the first time I open firefox I get the netflex pop-up. How can I get this blocked?
Thank you

Thank you for your reply, I only clear cookies and cache on closing Firefox, the site preferences box is not ticked. On the permissions tab Paypal is allowed.
However, I just closed Firefox and re-opened it, and paypal has remained on the list of exeptions. This is very strange as this morning I had to add it again before using paypal, the exeptions list was empty, I haven't changed any settings. Firefox has just had an update, so hopefully that has cured the problem.
