Firefox is blocking popups that I want to see, even after I have unchecked the Block Popup Windows in Options.

There are several sites that provide popups that I want to see. Firefox had not been blocking them previously. Then today it did. I went to Options and listed these sites as exceptions. It still blocked them. I went to options and unchecked Block Popup Windows. It still blocked them. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled a new copy. It still blocks them. What do I do now?

BTW, this does not occur when I access the same sites with Internet Explorer.

Which security software (firewall) do you have?

Some can block pop-ups, so you need to check there as well.

It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):

I have the same issue. I am using windows 7 ultimate and have it on a laptop which has no issues. It is only one pop up i want to come up and it blocks it. I am using zone alarm as well, and I turn it off and it makes no difference. IE works and I HATE Microsoft. I wish Mozilla would come up with a fix.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
