An email has been forwarded to me. I cannot open it and a window appears saying the browser is blocking popups. How can I unblock that particular e mail?

Don't you see a pop-up block icon on the right hand side of the location (address) bar?

Permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab can be managed here:


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
