I get asked a lot.. how do you block pop ups in Firefox ?

Who likes popups, pop-ups, pop ups or anything like this? I would imagine no one. If you do, please leave me a comment and let me know.  They personally make me think of malware or adware when I see a pop-up.  Do you think the same thing?

When you get one, do you click on it?  It would probably be safe to say that you don’t. Let’s see how you block pop ups in the new Firefox internet browser 12. It really is a simple process.

Let’s get to it:

1.  Open the Firefox internet browser  (You can download the newest version from here)

2.  Click on Tools (if you don’t have the menu bar, just click on the Firefox amber colored button in the top left corner and click Options and Menu Bar or you can watch my video by clicking here.  Be sure to  look around time frame 1:33).

3.  Click on Options

4.  Click on the Content Tab

5.  Click on Block pop-up windows and put a check mark in the box

6.  Click the OK button

There you go.  Fast, simple and easy way to block pop ups in Firefox 12.

I know this post is about blocking pop-ups in Firefox but I also have another post on how to block pop ups in Google Chrome here just in case you use Google Chrome as well.

Happy computing!
