I have my pop-up blocker enabled. But some websites are still able to open another window that contains an advertisement. How can I stop this?

Thank you!

Are you using the pop-up blocker in Firefox, or an add-on? Which one?

I'm using the native Firefox pop-up blocker. No add-ons.

Are you clicking a link when this happens (i.e. you experience a pop-under)?

You can look at a content blocking extension like uBlock Origin extension to block specific content.

See also the uBlock Origin documentation.

Yes - it happens when I click on a link. And you have a point - it's a "pop-under". But I still expected Firefox to prevent the "pop-uwhateveritis".

Many thanks!
