How to Enable the Pop-Up Blocker in Firefox
Pop-up advertisements can appear in the Firefox browser when you are surfing the web. These pop-ups can be annoying, and some of them may even cause spyware and other malware to be installed on your computer. You can download pop-up blockers and extensions to prevent pop-ups from appearing in Firefox. These are not necessary, however, as Firefox comes with a built-in pop-up blocker.
