|
<p><strong>What are Popups?</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Pop-up windows, or popups, are windows that appear automatically and without
|
|
|
|
|
your permission. They vary in size, but usually don't cover the whole screen.
|
|
|
|
|
Some popups open on top of the current Navigator window, thus popping up,
|
|
|
|
|
while others appear underneath Navigator (popunders).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>&brandShortName; allows you to control both popups and popunders through the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="#privacy_and_security_preferences_popup_windows">Popup Windows
|
|
|
|
|
preferences panel</a>. Since popup blocking is turned off by default, you
|
|
|
|
|
must enable it to prevent popups from appearing in Navigator.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When blocking a popup, &brandShortName; can be set up to play a sound, as
|
|
|
|
|
well as display an icon
|
|
|
|
|
<img src="chrome://navigator/skin/icons/popup-blocked.png" alt="Popup control
|
2004-06-03 02:59:39 +04:00
|
|
|
icon"></img> in the status bar. You can use this icon to add a website
|
2004-04-17 04:00:37 +04:00
|
|
|
you're viewing to an exceptions list so that the site is allowed to again
|
|
|
|
|
display popups.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-06-03 02:59:39 +04:00
|
|
|
<p><strong>Blocking popups may interfere with some websites</strong>: Some web
|
2004-04-17 04:00:37 +04:00
|
|
|
sites, including some banking sites, use popups for important features.
|
2004-06-03 02:59:39 +04:00
|
|
|
Blocking all popups disables such features. To allow specific websites to
|
|
|
|
|
use popups, while blocking all others, you can add specific websites to the
|
2004-04-17 04:00:37 +04:00
|
|
|
list of allowed sites. For more information, see
|

|
|
Security Preferences - Popup Windows</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Blocking popups doesn't always work</strong>: Although
|
2004-06-03 02:59:39 +04:00
|
|
|
&brandShortName; blocks most popups, some websites, even when blocked, may
|
2004-04-17 04:00:37 +04:00
|
|
|
use other methods to show popups.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2004-06-03 02:59:39 +04:00
|
|
|
<p><strong>Allowing popups from certain websites</strong>: After you've
|
2004-04-17 04:00:37 +04:00
|
|
|
enabled popup blocking, you can still allow specific sites to display popups.
|
2004-06-03 02:59:39 +04:00
|
|
|
Browse to the website, and then from the Tools menu, choose Popup Manager,
|
2004-04-17 04:00:37 +04:00
|
|
|
and then choose Allow Popups From This Site.</p>
