We have several computer labs. We would like to turn off popup blockers for Firefox on the computer for all users, anyone that logs in. Is it possible?

Firefox's popup blocker is enabled by default. Are there specific settings/tweaks you want to add? Whoops, I saw "Set" but didn't see "off" -- the below information is still what you want to look at.

Firefox supports an Autoconfig file in the program folder which can pre-set or lock preferences in individual user profiles. For more information, this blog is very useful:

You would have to place these lines in mozilla.cfg:

// mozilla.cfg needs to start with a comment line
lockPref("dom.disable_open_during_load", false);
