Hello all, First of all thank you for the good quality of mozilla products. I am using mainly firefix and thunderbird on linux (Ubuntu) on all my computers, that of my children and of any friend I can convert to open-source computing.

I have done all possible documented actions to configure firefox for blocking pop-ups, including standard (permissions in privacy & security settings) and advanced (filter on autoplay parameters in about:config) options available. I keep receiving pop-up windows with unwanted videos, e.g. on my paid subscription to a local news website. See the attached screen capture, where I right-clicked on the pop-up window. You will see that a "digiteka" player keeps appearing and I never sollicited these videos. I hate this. It's not even pub, it's news, but when I'm reading an article I don't want to be bothered with other news that I'm not interested in. Plus, I don't want any unauthorised software like this digiteka player running on my computer without my permission. It's not a firefox module, it's probably silently downloaded over my connection with my news provider with no notice. I could go as far as blocking autoplay so the video will not start playing automatically, but I would like to completely block the apperance of such windows and any download of something executable on my computer. What could I do in addition? I there any way, other than stopping my subscription to this site?

Many thanks for your help. Patrice.

Firefox by defaults has no popup blocker. That is for the user to choose to use 3rd party apps such as Addons to determine what kinda adblocker or popup blocker they want to use. It's not up to Firefox forum end users to tell another user what kinda popup blocker they use they need to go to Firefox Addon page and search for one that fit their needs.

Where did you get the information that (desktop) Firefox does not have a built in popup blocker (since forever) ? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting

Perhaps this is a Picture-in-Picture feature? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-firefox

I never wrote this. On the contrary I wrote that I used it as documented and that it does not sopt the unwanted behaviour. Therefore my call for help from the community
