Trying to add couple sites into pop-up exception list for our sales department. I created local-settings.js / mozilla.cfg and it's works fine. I was able to set other settings by looking on about:config and apply the settings on mozilla.cfg. My question is which one of those preferences is responsible for adding sites to exception list? I'm guessing it would be dom.popup_allowed_events but I don't know how to put the right value for it.

Type about:preferences#content<enter> in the address bar Under Content turn on Block pop-up windows. To its right, press Exceptions. List any sites that you do not want pop-ups to be blocked.

That works if I want to go to each computer and do it manually. What I want is to set all the preferences that I need to mozilla.cfg and deploy it using script and GPO.

You can use Sync for that, but I don't use it myself.

All site specific permissions are stored in permissions.sqlite as part of Site Preferences and not as a pref in prefs.js, so you can't do this via prefs.

cor-el Thanks for clearing that.

Is there any way to achieve that using GPO?
