I can receive pop-ups from certain sites in Tools/Settings, why then not also block popups from some sites since Firefox still fails to block?

Whenever I visit, for example, merriam - webster.com an advertisement of groupon invariably appears in a new window.
OK, so Firefox can't block it even though I have this option checked in Tools/settings/content.
But why can I not enter the URL of the announcement of groupon and block manually?
Can I enable pop ups of my choice in Tools/settings/content sites, I think that I should also be able to block sites?

  • Cannot receive incoming emails from some people

    I send direct windows. My husband has his own email with me - it has an address and I have another. He can receive e-mail from people while I can't. Those that I know I can't receive is gmail and yahoo at least an email user. He just started about 1 month ago and worked very well for years.

    I can send an email to everyone, but when some people try to send back to me, I did not receive it and they don't get a message that it was not distributed.

    When I go to file, import... it gives me the option of the window or Microsoft Live Mail window Outlook Express 6 or windows. I don't know what to choose - or even sure this is the problem.

    Any help would be appreciated. I called Microsoft and they told me to buy client WIndows for $109 - WIndows live has worked for us for many years - I would rather just what we currently set. Also - if anyone has a number to call for technical support - which would be appreciated. - Roxie

    The problem is resolved. He has not been blocked in windows live, but it was blocked in time warner roadrunner even though when I called them two weeks ago, they told me everything was going well at their end and it wasn't a problem with roadrunner. Thanks for your help... Roxie

    Thank you for your time

    Hello Vantabus, frequent pop ups could be a sign of adware/malware that is active on your system. Please, try the following steps:

    1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
    2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
    3. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

  • Pop ups on my site go into firefox

    On my site http://troonbijdevijver.nl , I worked with pop ups. In firefox, they do open, but disappear immediately in the background. What can I do to display the pop ups in the foreground?

    Problem is resolved... Thanks for your suggestions. Eventually, I discovered that I used "on mouse supported" like behavior of DW, but I should have used "per click". It makes no difference in IE or Chrome, but it does in Firefox...

    WARNING:

    Please note that the reset Internet Explorer (IE) resets all of the settings defined by the user, including those established by the installed extensions, toolbars and other add-ons for IE by default. This includes all the security, privacy and settings area. Also this will erase browsing history, delete all temporary Internet, cookies, form data files and especially all the passwords.

  • I can't uninstall Thunderbird to my Windows programs "Uninstall list"; Why does not uninstall and be removed from this list?

    Very frustrating... under windows ' programs/uninstall a program "list, Mozilla Thunderbird is still listed AFTER that I have removed completely (I thought) from my computer. I clicked on 'uninstall' several times and nothing happens. I can't take the fact that Mozilla has set it up so that it can apparently be deleted from this list... What is everything? I tried to research the problem, even by using your Web site without success. All what I want to do is get out of my list to uninstall/change. I used this program AND will not use it. I don't want this program on my computer/list period. I would appreciate your help.

    It is a problem with the management of Windows applications. Mozilla does nothing to interfere with the installation/uninstallation process.

    You could re - install Thunderbird so re-synchronization of the list of applications, then uninstall again, or you could use a utility to remove from the list.

    A search of thunderbird.exe will confirm whether or not it was really deleted, but you may need to disable all the fool-proofing that implement Microsoft for not to see the true state of the file system; Configure to display hidden files and the extensions of file to start.

    Thunderbird is almost independent. You are free to delete manually the folder that the application resides in if Windows fails to uninstall it for you, but that will not solve the incorrect appearance of thunderbird in the list of installed applications.

  • I used to be asked if I wanted to allow pop-ups from a site, but not more

    I loved this feature and you want to recover. I tried to make it through tools, Options, etc., but I just couldn't provide the correct address. Windows XP Professional

    Have you looked on the address bar?

    You should see an icon in the address bar when an embedded menu is blocked.

    If you click on this icon, then you should be able to allow a pop-up and be able to restore the InfoBar (notification).

  • I have authorized the pop-ups on a site (which was a mistake), now I want to block.

    When the yellow bar appears at the top of the site, I said "allow." Now I wish that I didn't have and block the popups on this site.

    Don't know how to fix this.

    You can inspect all the permissions for a Web site, if you click the site favicon (icon of the Identification of the sites), on the left end of the address bar.

    Click on the "More information" button on the pop - up which opens opens the Security tab of the window ' tools > Page Info.

  • From the updated version I can no longer connect to any site through firefox including it. Off blockers, etc. but no go. I'm on EI to the question

    As the question stated that the last update, I can't connect to a site including the support of modzilla, my email if thunderbird or sound. I use IE to be able to do. I hate IE this is why I normally use Firefox. I firstly close all blockers, etc., but it does not help. Ghostery is no longer watch what trackers found it - just a blank page.

    So, how a (plain English please) of the Nations United-to do an update?

    The connection state is stored in a cookie, so make sure that you are not blocking cookies.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (button '3-bar' menu or tools-> Modules-> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or tools-> modules-> appearance
    • Do NOT click on the button "Refresh Firefox" on the start window Mode safe

    You can try the following steps in case of problems with web pages:

    You can reload webpages and ignore the cache to refresh potentially stale or corrupt.

    • Hold down the SHIFT key and click the Reload button
    • Press 'Ctrl + F5' or 'Ctrl + Shift + R' (Windows, Linux)
    • Press 'Command + shift + R' (Mac)

    Clear the cache and delete cookies from Web sites that cause problems via the '3-bar' menu button of Firefox (Options/preferences).

    "Clear the cache":

    • Firefox/Options/preferences of-> advanced-> network-> cached Web content: 'clear now '.

    'Delete cookies' websites that are causing problems.

  • How to disable the left Alt key as the taskbar pop-ups when you try to play the game then press the left Alt key

    Original title: left disabling Alt Taskbar pop-up Menu window

    Hello

    I have problems with the taskbar. Every time I tap my left Alt key twice, then left Alt + (1-6) a context menu appears. It's the same thing as right click a tab on your taskbar for anyone who is struggling to recreate my problem. Right Alt does not cause this problem.

    It is very bad news for me as the focus of changes in context menu of what I do. I play video games in my free time and have game left keybinds for Alt + 1,2 & 3. I will support on these keybinds quickly all while playing. This will cause the context menu for taskbar activate and I'll be tabbed out of my game.

    I searched for weeks trying to solve this problem and I have not found any that is worked. I tried to disable the jump lists. I tried to change the registry for a right click on the taskbar. I saw patches of this forum and several others and nothing I found works.

    Recently, I contacted Microsoft to the it Department by phone and said they knew exactly how to fix this and if I have to pay $50 to one of their technicians have to connect to my computer that they would have this problem corrected in the blink of an eye. I find this limit extortion honestly and I hope someone had this problem and can provide steps on fixing it.

    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer, but the answer you provided is for a question that is different from what I was living. Your link has solved a problem with someone who has the taskbar pop up when their mouse/cursor passes over. My problem was to have a drop down of the taskbar appear whenever I type left Alt + 1/2/3/4 etc.

    However, I have since fixed. If there is anyone else out there with this problem, it's a hardware problem with my keyboard. I couldn't get anyone to recreate my problem by pressing left Alt + 1, etc. (although you can recreate my problem to click with the right button on a program in the task bar), so I reset my left Alt key. After resetting my left Alt key this problem does occur more (yay)

    Thank you
