The use popup windows have become commonly used, and have annoyed many users. Firefox therefore blocks all popup windows on Internet sites by default.

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.
