For Windows web browsers, how do I enable or disable pop-ups?
On this page:
Internet Explorer 7 and higher
- At the upper right, click
Tools. From the menu that appears, selectPop-up Blocker.
- Click to select either
Turn Off Pop-up BlockerorTurn On Pop-up Blocker.
Note: If you have the toolbar enabled, you can access
these options through the Tools menu as described below for
Internet Explorer 6.
By default, Internet Explorer displays pop-ups that appear as a result of clicking a link or button. Pop-up Blocker blocks pop-ups that are displayed automatically (without you clicking a link or button). To allow a specific web site to display automatic pop-ups:
- In Internet Explorer, click
Tools, selectPop-up Blocker, and then clickPop-up Blocker Settings.
- In the "Address of website to allow" box, type the address (or URL)
of the web site you want to see pop-ups from, and then click
Add.
- Repeat step 2 for every web site you want to allow pop-ups
from. When you are finished adding web sites, click
Close.
Internet Explorer 6
- From the
Toolsmenu, selectPop-up Blocker.
- Click to select either
Turn Off Pop-up BlockerorTurn On Pop-up Blocker.
Firefox
- From the
Toolsmenu, selectOptions....
- Click

- Check or uncheck
Block Popup Windows.
When blocking a pop-up, Firefox displays an information bar, as well as
an icon in the status bar. When you click either the Options
button in the information bar or the icon in the status bar, a menu is
displayed with the following choices:
Allow/Block popups for this site-
Edit Popup Blocker Options Don't show this message (info message) when popups are blocked- (show a blocked pop-up)
If you select Edit Popup Blocker Options, you can then click
Exceptions next to "Block pop-up windows" and enter the URLs
for any sites you wish to allow to display pop-ups.
