<h1>Controlling Pop-ups</h1>
<p>This document explains all of the &pref.plural; available in &brandFullName;
for controlling pop-ups.</p>
<div class="contentsBox">
In this section:
<ul>
<li><a href="#what_are_popups">What are Pop-ups?</a></li>
<li><a href="#popup_blocker_preferences">Pop-up Blocker &pref.pluralCaps;</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<h2 id="what_are_popups">What are Pop-ups?</h2>
<p>Pop-up windows, or pop-ups, are windows that appear automatically without your
permission. They vary in size but usually don't cover the whole screen. Some pop-ups
open on top of the current &brandShortName; window, while others appear
underneath &brandShortName; (pop-unders).</p>
<p>&brandShortName; allows you to control both pop-ups and popunders through the
<a href="prefs.xhtml#content_options">Content panel</a> in &pref.pluralCaps;.
Pop-up blocking is turned on by default, so you don't have to worry about enabling it
to prevent pop-ups from appearing in &brandShortName;.</p>
<p>When blocking a pop-up, &brandShortName; displays an information bar, as well
as an icon <img src="chrome://browser/skin/Info.png" width="16" height="16"
alt=""/> in the status bar. When you click either the <em>&pref.pluralCaps;</em>
button in the information bar or the icon in the status bar, a menu is displayed
with the following choices:</p>
<ul>
<li>Allow/Block pop-ups for this site</li>
<li>Edit <a href="#popup_blocker_preferences">Pop-up Blocker
&pref.pluralCaps;</a></li>
<li>Don't show this message (info message) when pop-ups are blocked</li>
<li>(show a blocked pop-up)</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Blocking pop-ups may interfere with some web sites</strong>: Some web sites,
including some banking sites, use pop-ups for important features. Blocking all pop-ups
disables such features. To allow specific web sites to use pop-ups, while blocking
all others, you can add specific web sites to the list of allowed sites.</p>
<p><strong>Blocking pop-ups doesn't always work</strong>: Although &brandShortName; blocks most
pop-ups, some web sites may show pop-ups using uncovered methods, even when blocked.</p>
<h2 id="popup_blocker_preferences">Pop-up Blocker &pref.pluralCaps;</h2>
<p>The Pop-up Blocker &pref.pluralCaps; are located in the <a
href="prefs.xhtml#content_options">Content panel</a> of &pref.menuPath;.</p>
<p>From there, you can do the following things:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Block pop-up windows</strong>: Deselect this &pref.singular; to
disable the pop-up blocker altogether.</li>
<li><strong>Exceptions dialog</strong>: This is a list of sites that you want to allow
to display pop-ups. The dialog has the following choices:
<ul>
<li><strong>Allow</strong>: Click this to add a web site to the exceptions list.</li>
<li><strong>Remove Site</strong>: Click this to remove a web site from the exceptions list.</li>
<li><strong>Remove All Sites</strong>: Click this to remove all of the web sites in
the exceptions list.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: Blocking pop-ups may not always work and may interfere with
some web sites. For more information about blocking pop-ups, see
<a href="#what_are_popups">What are Pop-ups</a>.</p>
