Disable the Pop-Up Blocker in Mozilla Firefox

Mozilla Firefox’s desktop, iPhone, and iPad versions allow you to turn off the pop-up blocker. The Android version does not have a pop-up blocker, which means you do not have to do anything to allow those tiny windows.

To disable Edge’s pop-up blocker on mobile, open Edge, go to three dots menu, then tap Settings > Privacy and Security > Site Permissions > Pop-Ups and Redirects, and enable the “Pop-Ups and Redirects” option.

Disable the Pop-Up Blocker in Safari on Mac

Safari on Mac also comes with a built-in pop-up blocker.

To disable it, open Safari and navigate to Safari > Preferences > Websites > Pop-Up Windows. There, at the bottom, click the “When Visiting Other Websites” drop-down menu and choose “Allow.”

Disable the Pop-Up Blocker in Safari on iPhone and iPad

To deactivate the pop-up blocker in Safari on an iPhone or iPad, use your phone’s Settings app.
