How to Turn On or Off Pop-ups on Firefox

Hello there! Today, I’m going to show you how to control those pesky pop-ups on your Firefox browser. Whether you love them or hate them, it’s important to know how to enable or disable them according to your preferences.

So, let’s get started. Here are the simple steps to guide you through the process:

First, open up your Firefox browser. You can do this by clicking on the Firefox icon on your desktop or by searching for it in your applications.

Now, look up at the top right corner of your screen. You’ll see three horizontal lines, also known as the hamburger menu. Click on it, and a drop-down menu will appear.

Next, scroll down and click on the “Options” button. It’s usually at the bottom of the menu, with a gear icon next to it. This will open up a new tab with all your Firefox settings.

In the left-hand menu of the new tab, click on “Privacy & Security.” This will take you to the section where you can control your pop-up settings.

Once you’re in the “Privacy & Security” section, scroll down until you find the “Permissions” heading. Underneath it, you’ll see the “Notifications” option.

To disable pop-ups, uncheck the box next to “Block pop-up windows.” This will prevent any pop-up windows from appearing while you’re browsing.

If you want to enable pop-ups, make sure the box next to “Block pop-up windows” is checked. This way, Firefox will stop any unwanted pop-ups from disturbing you.

That’s it! You’ve successfully adjusted your pop-up settings in Firefox. Now you can browse the internet without any surprises or interruptions.

Remember, it’s important to strike a balance with pop-up settings. While some pop-ups can be annoying, others may contain important information or alerts. So, choose wisely based on your needs.

I hope this guide has been helpful to you. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask. Happy browsing!

How to Disable Pop-Ups in Firefox on Android or iPhone

Just like the desktop version, Firefox blocks pop-ups by default on its mobile app. But sometimes, a few sneaky pop-ups might still slip through.

1. Open the Firefox app on your Android phone.
2. Tap the three-dot icon and select Add-ons.
3. Search for the AdGuard AdBlocker in the extension store.
4. Tap Add to Firefox.
5. Select Add to finalize the extension installation.

That’s it! You can enable ads again by disabling the add-on. There are also other ad blockers available on the extension store for you to try out.

On iPhone, here’s what you need to do:

1. Open Firefox.
2. Tap the hamburger icon and select Settings.
3. Select General.
4. Toggle the switch next to “Block Pop-up Windows” to enable or disable pop-ups.
