Web Features Options

Block Popup Windows
As the web is growing. more and more buisnesses find it harder to get your attention. To keep your eyes focused on their products, buisnesses have started using pop-up windows. The use popup windows have become commonly used, and have annoyed many users. Firefox therefore blocks all popup windows on Internet sites by default. Unchecking this option will disable popup blocking.

Some sites (like banks) make legitimate use of popup windows. Therefore, the popup blocking feature has a simple whitelist mechanism to allow certain sites to open popups anyway. To add a site to the whitelist, click Add Site... . To remove a site from the whitelist, select that site from the list and then click Remove Site. To clear the whitelist completely, click Remove All Sites.


Enable Java

Java is a popular programming language for the web developed by Sun Microsystems. A single Java program can run on many different kinds of operating systems, thus avoiding the need for programmers to create a separate version of each program for each kind of computer. Uncheck this option to disable Java applets in Mozilla Firefox.

The Java plugin is currently not working in Zeta.
