Hi,

Some websites will open pop-up windows, even though I have a pop-up blocker enabled.

The problem with these pop-up windows is that they don't have have the close option like other Firefox windows for Mac.

This results in the pop-up staying open and the only way I can get rid of it is to quit Firefox completely.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi,

Maybe you could try the keyboard shortcut command + W (close current tab) or command + shift + W (close current window) when the pop-up is displayed in the foreground.
