Internet Explorer:

Pop-up Blocker is turned on in Internet Explorer by default. To turn it off or to turn it on again if you've already turned it off, follow these steps:

  1. Open Internet Explorer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Internet Explorer.

  2. Click the Tools button, and then click Pop-up Blocker.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • To turn off Pop-up Blocker, click Turn Off Pop-up Blocker.

    • To turn on Pop-up Blocker, click Turn On Pop-up Blocker.

Firefox: 

Firefox allows you to control both pop-ups and pop-unders through the Content panel in theOptions window. 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 Firefox.

When blocking a pop-up, Firefox displays an information bar (if it hasn’t been previously dismissed — see below), as well as an icon pop-up-icon-win in the location bar.

When you click either the Options button in the info bar or the icon in the location bar, a menu is displayed with the following choices:

  • Allow/Block pop-ups for this site
  • Edit Pop-up Blocker Options
  • Don't show info bar when pop-ups are blocked
  • (show the blocked pop-up)
