How to Allow Pop-ups to Be Displayed in Firefox

This practical guide walks through how to allow pop-ups to be displayed in Firefox, explains the main requirements, and highlights common issues that may appear along the way.

This article will show you how to turn off the pop-up blocker in Firefox on computers, iPhones and iPads.

(Note: The Firefox for Android app doesn't have a pop-up blocker, which means you don't have to do anything to allow this window to show.)

To disable the pop-up blocker in Firefox on a Windows, Mac, Linux, or Chromebook computer, first launch Firefox on your computer.

In the Chrome interface that appears, in the top right corner of the screen, click the three horizontal lines button to open the system menu.

From the menu that opens, select 'Settings'.

On the settings page, in the list on the left, click 'Privacy & Security'.

In the corresponding screen that appears on the right, scroll down to the 'Permission' section. Here you look to the bottom and turn off the 'Block Pop-Up Windows' option.

Any website can now display a pop-up window when you visit it.

As mentioned, sometimes you will also want pop-ups to be allowed on certain websites. In this case, next to the option 'Block Pop-Up Windows' (this option must be enabled), click 'Exceptions' On the corresponding 'Allowed Websites – Pop-Ups' page that opens , enter the full address of the website that you want to allow pop-ups to appear, click 'Allow' and then click 'Save Changes'.

Firefox will now allow pop-ups to be displayed on websites you specify, while blocking them on all other sites.
