I use my Android tablet for work, but I can't see some of the items on my work website. When I pull up my website to look at my schedule a screen pops up saying turn off pop up blocker. I have searched the website and cannot find how to turn off the pop up blocker. Can you please tell me or send me instructions to do so.

Hi

By default, Firefox for Android does not have a pop up blocker.

It may help if you view your page in desktop view. You can read more about how to do this here.

I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here and we can look into a different solution for you.

Firefox on Android does have a Popup blocker turned on by default. Just that there is no simple uncheck a preference way to turn it off.

On Firefox for Android, you may try these:

Type about:config in the Location (address) bar Search dom.disable_open_during_load and set it to false

To enable the popup blocker again just set above preference to true.

Seburo, why do you keep saying there is no popup blocker in Android version of Firefox?
