I check the pop-up blocker box in Options, but after a while I find it unchecked -- usually after I reopen the browser.

Firefox help said McAfee can change preferences, but when I clicked on the link it provided in response to that problem (the link said ``Pop-up Blocker''), it didn't discuss the anti-virus issue. I don't know if McAfee is the problem, though. And the problem of finding the pop-up box unchecked has persisted through several Firefox software updates.

    Might be a Safari extension...
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    If there are any extensions installed, turn that OFF, then quit and relaunch Safari to test.

  • How do I dis-able the pop-up blocker when the box is not checked and yet, pop ups are being blocked?

    I want to totally disable Mozilla's pop-up blocker. I went to the tools/options page and found that the pop up blocker box is not checked but it is still blocking pop-ups. I see that others are having the same problem. How do we fix it, or, is this a programming issue and if so, is Firefox fixing it? It is quite annoying.

    Could you click the Exceptions button to the right of "Block pop-up windows" and make sure none of those sites is specifically blocked?
    If you have unchecked the box and there is no site-specific setting, that usually does it...
    Is it possible that an add-on is doing the blocking? A standard diagnostic to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings) is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode."
    Check the Options dialog > Content to make sure the pop-up blocker is turned off.
    If popups now work correctly, this points to one of your extensions as the most likely culprit. If you restart in normal mode, you can try disabling (or adjusting the options of) any that seem possibly popup-related (e.g., security related) here:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Any change?

    How do I disable the pop-up blocker for Android

    Hi kingkash :-)
    if you wish to disable Pop-ups, you can follow these instructions:
    Type about:config in the address bar
    Search dom.disable_open_during_load and set it to false
    To re-enable the Pop-up blocker, set dom.disable_open_during_load to true
    I hope you find this information useful.

  • How Do I Disable The Pop-Up Blocker to Upload Video to Facebook & Others?

    When I try to upload a video clip I shot of some 4th of July Fireworks to Facebook, I get the error message "In order to upload videos on your profile, Facebook needs to be able to create a pop-up window. Please disable your pop-up blocker or allow this page to create popups, then try again."
    I have uploaded to FB before, but apparently I've turned on the pop-up blocker. How do I turn it off? I am new to MAC from pc, so please have mercy and help me...
    Thanks

    Hi IamR.Ph.
    Unless you have a 3rd party blocker, Safari's built-in one can be disabled via the following method:
    In the top menu click Safari (to the right of the Apple logo) then click "Block Pop-Up Windows."
    If you see a check mark next to this then the blocker is enabled, if there's no check mark than the blocker is already disabled and something else is doing the blocking.

  • I am no longer able to open or download most PDFs from web pages. I have the pop-up blocker turned off in Preferences.

    In recent months I have found that I am unable to download or open PDF documents from web pages. Download links either open a blank page in a new tab or do nothing. PDFs that I am unable to view in Firefox can be viewed and/or downloaded in Safari most of the time and Chrome all of the time so I assume the problem is not my computer or operating system. I recently turned off the pop-up blocker but that did not make a difference. The problem has worsened over the past couple months, it appears that more and more web sites are moving to a different protocol for viewing/downloading PDFs. It used to happen occasionally but now I find that I am unable to view a majority - about 75% - of PDFs. I am using Firefox v18 for Mac with Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    hello ahegarty, you could try using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pdfjs/ PDF Viewer] addon, for more details also see [[PDF files are blank and can't be downloaded on Mac]].

  • How do I turn off the pop up blocker notification?

    I have been searching for the method to turn off the notification that a pop-up has been blocked. There is supposedly an icon somewhere that I can click to tell Firefox not to send me the message. I have left clicked, and right clicked in the places that look like possible options, but do not get the option to turn off the notifications.
    The notifications are as irritating as the pop-ups. Please help.
    Thank you,
    René Marlin

    hello rené, you can enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage''' - double-click and toggle that entry to '''false''' in order to hide the popup notification bar.

    Let's try a preferences reset: (Windows)
    Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.
