<h1>Controlling Popups</h1>

What are Popups?

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).

Mozilla allows you to control both popups and

popunders through the <a href="#popup_prefs">Popup Windows preferences

panel</a>. Since popup blocking is turned off by default, you must enable it to prevent popups from appearing in Navigator.

When blocking a popup, Mozilla can be set up to play a sound,

as well as display an icon <img src="chrome://navigator/skin/icons/popup-blocked.png">

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 again display popups.

Blocking popups may interfere with some web sites: 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. For more information, see <a href="#popup_prefs">Privacy &

Security Preferences - Popup Windows</a>.

Blocking popups doesn't always work: Although Mozilla blocks

most popups, some web sites, even when blocked, may use other methods to show

popups.

Allowing popups from certain web sites: After you've enabled popup blocking, you can still allow specific sites to display popups. Browse to the web site, and then from the Tools menu, choose Popup Manager, and then choose Allow Popups From This Site.

The next section describes how to control popups through preferences and through

the popup control icon.

<h2>Privacy & Security Preferences - Popup Windows</h2>

This section describes how to use the Popup Windows preferences panel.

If you're not already viewing it, follow these steps:

1. Open the Edit menu (Mozilla menu on Mac OS X) and choose Preferences.

2. Under the Privacy & Security Preferences category, click Popup Windows. (If no subcategories are visible, double-click Privacy & Security

to expand the list.)

<ul>

<li>Block unrequested popup windows: Select this to prevent popups from appearing in Navigator.

<li>Allowed Sites: Click this to view and edit the list of web sites that you want to allow to display popups. </li>

<ul>

<li> Allowed web sites: The list of allowed web sites appears

when you click "Allowed Sites." You can add or remove web sites

that should be allowed to show popups.</li>

<li>Add: Click this after typing in a web site that you want to add to

the list.</li>

<li>Remove: Click this to remove a selected web site.</li>

<li>

Remove All: Click this to remove all of the web sites in the current

list.

</li>

</ul>

<h3>When a popup window has been blocked</h3>

<ul>

<li>

Play a sound: If you want a sound to play each time Navigator blocks

a popup, select this option and type the location of the sound file.

</li>

<ul>

<li>Select: Click this to choose a sound file instead of typing its location

in the field.</li>

<li>Preview: Click this to listen to the chosen sound.</li>

</ul>

<li>Display an icon in the Navigator status bar: Select this to display

an icon <img src="chrome://navigator/skin/icons/popup-blocked.png"> in the Navigator status

bar to indicate that a popup is blocked.

Note: After the popup control icon <img src="chrome://navigator/skin/icons/popup-blocked.png">

appears, it remains visible until you visit another web site. </li>

</ul>

Using the popup control icon to add allowed web sites: You can use

100

the popup control icon to quickly add a web site to the list of allowed web sites. Click the icon <img src="chrome://navigator/skin/icons/popup-blocked.png"> to open the list of allowed web sites. The current web site is already filled in. Click Add and then click OK to confirm your addition.
