I'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.

- VolkumDev 님, 일 년 전5점 만점에 5점Great Work!! It would be great if you can keep it updated, love it!
Any bad review on this add-on is from a 3 year old. - Firefox user 16491953 님, 일 년 전5점 만점에 5점

- Firefox user 13078138 님, 2년 전5점 만점에 3점Useful. 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.개발자 답글
일 년 전에 게시됨In 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. - bigajm 님, 2년 전5점 만점에 4점Works 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. - Firefox user 13931368 님, 2년 전5점 만점에 5점
- ProblemSolver 님, 2년 전5점 만점에 5점Super. 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. - KasunL 님, 2년 전5점 만점에 4점Nice! Blocks those window popups, that other blockers wont block. I donno if this ext will block the malware tho. Anyways, 4 stars. Thank you developer :-)

- korkythecat 님, 2년 전5점 만점에 3점It won't open a closed tab without me enabling the setting 'allow all new tabs'. Undo closed tab extension won't work with it.

- Firefox user 15421801 님, 2년 전5점 만점에 5점loved it so much i had to write a review and I never write reviews!
- Firefox user 15197695 님, 3년 전5점 만점에 5점Exactly what I needed. It catches all the new windows and tabs a lot of scummy/annoying sites love to force open, despite how settings are set.
Thank you soooooo much. At most all I have to deal with is a white flash that's over in the blink of an eye. Much better than new windows/tabs.
Bonus points for a 20s timer option so I don't need to turn it on/off wholesale. - Firefox user 14764153 님, 3년 전5점 만점에 5점FINALLY ... a popup blocker that works! I'm just using the "Smart Light" mode and it's blocking the popups without hindering the rest of the pages that I want.
- Firefox user 14759635 님, 3년 전5점 만점에 5점It's the best popup blocker I've used so far and it catches unwanted new tabs also which great, I've seen junk sneak through that way before.
- Firefox user 14696639 님, 3년 전5점 만점에 5점its acctually works unlike the other bullshit. Well done Joofthan
- drunk 님, 3년 전5점 만점에 5점One of the best popupblockers for firefox ! Just because he can block - new tab -, that makes it very effective adblocker. It completes with strict popup blocker. Cheers for developer.

- Firefox user 14581251 님, 3년 전5점 만점에 5점Has ALL the features that are missing in "Strict Pop-Up Blocker" including whitelists
