Not allowing pop ups

Firefox is not allowing pop ups even though the block pop up box is unchecked.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

There is also security software that can block pop-ups, so can can check the advanced settings for Firefox in such programs.

  • Allowed pop ups but safari won't open my Uni website. It just opens a fresh blank page? Using sim not wifi would this have something to do with it?

    I have a new iPad and am trying to open my Uni website. I have allowed pop ups but it just opens a new blank page. I'm using a sim not wifi, would this have anything to do with it?

    Thanks again ...
    This trouble is fairly new as I just got my MacBook Pro.  It's been going on for 2 weeks or so.  Prior to the MacBook I was using my old PC laptop and never had any difficulty.
    Nobody else seems to be having this problem at school and IT is completely unhelpful.  I've been told that nothing's wrong with the uni's internet/network, it's my laptop. 
    Could it be that the uni's network doesn't recognize my new Mac's IP address (I think that's right) and for some reason is blocking access?
    As for the VPN idea - I think I get it.  Can I set that up myself?

  • I can allow pop-ups from certain sites in Tools/Settings, why then can I not also block pop-ups from certain sites since Firefox doesn't always manage to block them?

    Whenever I visit, for instance, merriam-webster.com an ad from groupon invariably pops up in a new window.
    OK, so Firefox does not manage to block it although I have this option checked in Tools/Settings/Content.
    But why can I not enter the URL of the groupon ad and manually block it?
    I can allow pop-ups from sites of my choice in Tools/Settings/Content, I think I should also be able to block sites?

    You may have pop-ups blocked.
    Go to Settings>Safari and turn "Block pop-ups" off. You may needs to restart the ipad after turning off this settings if it doesnt work immediately

  • How do I allow pop ups in safari without being asked "block or allow" ?

    I'm assuming that when I turned on the setting in Safari to allow pop-ups, I wouldn't have to tell the browser to allow or block every single pop up after that.  Is there a combination of settings to make allow pop-ups without the additional "block or allow" message from popping up before the pop up window.
    I used a 3rd party web application that has been coded for their drill-down messages to be displayed in another screen and I have no control over that.
    Thanks for any information you can provide.

    Well, not that helpful unless you can determine if that window is coming from Safari or iOS or from whatever the other "3rd party web application" you were talking about.
    If you don't want to play in that pool, then assume that iOS and/or Safari are working incorrectly. Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
    Restart - red slider, then boot up again
    Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
    Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
    Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
    Erase All Content -   same as above
    Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
    You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.
    So .. start at #1.

  • Alternative browsers that allow pop-ups?

    My son just got an iPad for work thinking that he could use it with a web-based utility they use in the retail auto business. He can get onto the site with Safari, but when he goes to use a tab or link, some features are not functional. For instance, he sets up a customer document on the page, then attempts to email the customer from the utility (it works fine on his iMac and on PCs), the email dialogue comes up, but he can't type into the body area so it doesn't work. That was using the iPad's Safari. He tried something called Atomic Browser but again, no dice.
    He seems to think that he needs a browser that allows pop-ups and pages from links to either open as a 2nd browser window on the screen, and that window has to be fully functional.
    The iPad can be a great business tool, but they have to tailor Safari to work with web based applications as well as installed ones. But in the interim, if anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

    Try the iCab browser. You can set it to tell web based apps that it is Internet Explorer, for example, which might help.

  • 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.

  • HT3092 I have a email I need to allow pop-ups.  How do I do this?

    I have a email I need to allow pop-ups.  How do I do this?

    You can "allow" a site under
    Tools > Options > Content
    using the first Exceptions button on the right.
    But popups also can be blocked by some toolbars as a bonus feature. You may want to check their options. I'd especially check security software bars such as McAfee.
    Even if a toolbar is not normally displayed full time, it still could be active. You can use View > Toolbars to display it and check its features.

  • How do I configure my safari browser to allow pop-ups?

    How do I configure my browser to allow pop-ups from testing websites?

    whoa, whoa, whoa, part of the problem is that there is no indication that a pop-up is occurring or that it's being blocked like I just learned at Hertz.com. So it just looks like a legitmate pop-up fails since the default is to disable pop-ups (actually it looks like nothing). I don't want to always allow pop-ups for every website. I want to be prompted or notified when it happens - to allow for a good site (going forward) and block or be notified for all the other sites. Global on or off is not a great way to go, imho.

  • In Safari on my Macbook Air using Yosemite, I have the pop up box unchecked but I am still getting blocked on a few sites. Some sites will allow pop ups, any Ideas?

    While in Safari on my Macbook Air using Yosemite, I have the block pop ups box unchecked but I am still getting blocked on a few sites. Some sites will allow pop ups, any ideas?

    Yes, I do that every 30 minutes, thats not the issue tho, because it shows like for example, 4 months ago i search a celebrity on wikipedia ONCE, and it shows up if you type that first name in the search bar......
    Is there ANYWAY to get rid of this bug..or does Apple Mac come with a defect....is this happening for other people, can someone please check, I asked my friend it comes for her too, but way less results, and sometimes when she resets safari hers goes away for the moment, and comes back later when u search...hmmm strange...
    need help!!!

  • 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

  • How to allow pop-ups in Safari for all users

    How do you allow Safari pop-ups for all users? After rolling out 50 Mac OSX with Safari comes default with Safari pop-ups disabled, now I must allow pop-ups for all users logging in.
    Good day!

    Do you have an Exchange (e.g. a work) email account set up on the iPad ? If you do then it's possible that the account profile is preventing you turning popups 'on', in which case you would need to contact the email account administrator
