Valutata 4 su 5
di Utente Firefox 13536436, 8 anni faI've tried 5 popup blockers since Mozilla forced this update on us and my old one stopped working. This is the only one I've tried that actually works and has so far blocked 100% of popups on video sites absolutely rife with dodgy popups.
However it is unfortunately a little... too effective and will disable your ability to right click to open new tabs or windows unless you whitelist those sites or click allow after trying to open it - neither of which are overly practical for normal browsing habits. So it definitely needs to be improved to be able to tell the difference between deliberate user actions and automated popups. I've ended up setting it to allow all new tabs but block all new windows since most popups are new windows anyway and I rarely right click and open in new window instead of new tab.
It's a bit of a compromise but it works. Frankly I'm amazed that Mozilla would force an update disabling out of date addons and still not include a popup blocker that actually works as a base feature of the browser. The very first popup I saw on a video site after updating Firefox and losing my old blocker was obvious malware disguised as a Firefox update with a page that could not be closed due to dialog popups and it is easy to see how people could be caught out by something like that. This add on makes the internet safe and usable once again...
EDIT: I've just noticed that with 'Block new windows' checked I can't even open a new instance of Firefox from a desktop icon without temporarily disabling the blocker. With it turned off nothing is blocked even when set to 'smart'. I don't know what smart is supposed to do - as mostly it will allow me to open new tabs with middle mouse or right click menu but every now and then it will prevent me doing so forcing me to turn it off. Really needs some improving.

- Valutata 2 su 5di Sopor, un anno faIf i have enabled block on a site and i want to open Popupblocker options it won't open because all new pages are blocked on that site.
It will also jump to the end at the tabs and that is very annoying. It don't show any page but if it jumps to the last tab is it almost the same as it would be an ad. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 16491953, 5 anni fa

- Valutata 3 su 5di Utente Firefox 13078138, 5 anni faUseful. But it blocks me from opening a new Private Window when I actually want to.
command + Shift + P doesn't work anymore after installing this add-on.Replica dello sviluppatore
pubblicato il 4 anni faIn the latest Version 2.1 you can enable "New Window Allowlist" and then add "about:privatebrowsing" to it. This will prevent the add-on from closing the window. - Works very well and blocks windows which made some websites unusable.
However, with some websites I find this extension stops me clicking links which open new windows. I have to disable the blocker manually when I want to open these links.
Would it be possible to add an option to the right mouse button (context menu) to "Override blocker and open this link"?
Many thanks. - Valutata 5 su 5di Utente Firefox 13931368, 5 anni fa
- Valutata 5 su 5di ProblemSolver, 5 anni faSuper. Perfect for People who not likes Annoying Pages.
Just activate "Block all new Tabs". Then whitelist the Pages that you want open.
(Option2: Right click and copy the Link you want open, open a new Tab with the Mouse and Paste it there).
Thank you. - Valutata 3 su 5di korkythecat, 5 anni faIt won't open a closed tab without me enabling the setting 'allow all new tabs'. Undo closed tab extension won't work with it.
