i recently installed firefox 4... i LOVE the new look and speed. however, and i never thought i would complain about this, but i cannot get firefox 4 to allow ANY popups. i have the sites listed in the "exceptions" and even have "options/content/block pop-up windows" disabled/unchecked?

any suggestions?

Did you check your security software (firewall) ?

Some have advanced settings that include blocking pop-ups.


Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

  • Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
