Where is the Pop Up blocker in Safari 6?

In previous versions, it was under the Safari Menu. 

Is this now the only way to enable/disable?  At least the menu option was a fast, easy access option to disable/enable as needed, or to use Command-K, but to remove this option???  I tried the keyboard shortcut and it did nothing.
I grew not to like Firefox because it didn't support gestures and I really like this in Safari.
It's bad enough that Safari doesn't support a popup exceptions list, but the Command-K shortcut option was at least a compromise. Safari 6 now has three strikes against it:
1) offensively wide tabs
2) loss of the separate search box
3) loss of a quick way to toggle popup blocking - no menu option or shortcut key combination.

    Where is the pop-up blocker? This question concerns the latest OS.

    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide and AdwareMedic.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.

    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

    I am trying to stream via ESPNWatch but I get a message saying I have a popup blocker that does not allow the streaming to happen. I unchecked the pop up blocker box in the Safari preferences to no avail. Any ideas?

    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.

  • 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]].

    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."

    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.

  • 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?
