<h1>Controlling Popups</h1>
|
|
<p>This document explains all of the options available in &brandFullName;
|
|
for controlling popups.</p>
|
|
|
|
<div class="contentsBox">
|
|
In this section:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="#what_are_popups">What are Popups?</a></li>
|
|
<li><a href="#popup_blocker_preferences">Popup Blocker Options</a></li>
|

</ul>

</div>
|
|

|
<h2 id="what_are_popups">What are Popups?</h2>
|
|
<p>Popup windows, or popups, are windows that appear automatically without your
|
|
permission. They vary in size but usually don't cover the whole screen. Some popups
|
|
open on top of the current &brandShortName; window, while others appear
|
|
underneath &brandShortName; (popunders).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>&brandShortName; allows you to control both popups and popunders through the
|
|
<a href="prefs.xhtml#web_features_options">Web Features Options panel</a>.
|
|
Popup blocking is turned on by default, so you don't have to worry about enabling it
|
|
to prevent popups from appearing in &brandShortName;.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>When blocking a popup, &brandShortName; displays an
|
|
icon <img src="chrome://browser/skin/Popup-blocked.png" width="16" height="16" alt=""/> in the
|
|
status bar. You can use this icon to add a web site you're viewing to an exceptions
|
|
list so that the site is allowed to display popups.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Blocking popups may interfere with some web sites</strong>: Some web sites,
|
|
including some banking sites, use popups for important features. Blocking all popups
|
|
disables such features. To allow specific web sites to use popups, while blocking
|
|
all others, you can add specific web sites to the list of allowed sites.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Blocking popups doesn't always work</strong>: Although &brandShortName; blocks most
|
|
popups, some web sites may show popups using uncovered methods, even when blocked.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Allowing popups from certain web sites</strong>: After you've enabled popup
|
|
blocking, you can still allow specific sites to display popups. Select
|
|
<span class="menuPath">Tools > Options</span>. From the Web Features panel, you can
|
|
then add and remove sites for which you want to disable popup blocking.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="popup_blocker_preferences">Popup Blocker Options</h2>
|
|
|
|
<div>This section describes how to use the &brandShortName; Popup Blocker. If you're not
|
|
already viewing it, open the Web Features Options by following these steps:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Select <span class="menuPath">Tools > Options</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Click on the <em>Web Features</em> category.</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
From there, you can do the following things:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Block Popup Windows</strong></li>
|
|
<li><strong>Exceptions dialog</strong>: This is a list of sites that you want to allow
|
|
to display popups. The dialog has the following options:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Allow</strong>: Click this to add a web site to the exceptions list.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Remove Site</strong>: Click this to remove a web site from the exceptions list.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Remove All Sites</strong>: Click this to remove all of the web sites in
|
|
the exceptions list.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<h3>When a Popup Window Has Been Blocked</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Every time a popup is blocked, an icon is displayed in
|
|
the &brandShortName; status bar to indicate that a popup has been blocked.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Using the popup control icon to add allowed web sites</strong>: You can use
|
|
the popup control icon to quickly add a web site to the list of allowed web sites.
|
|
Click the icon to open a list of blocked web sites. The current web site is already selected.
|
|
Click <em>Unblock Site</em> to add the web site to the list of allowed web sites.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Blocking popups may not always work and may interfere with
|
|
some web sites. For more information about blocking popups, see
|
|
