How to Add a Blocker for Firefox

Adding blockers to Firefox can be done by with Firefox options and plugins.

Popups and popunders really make the Firefox Internet experience annoying. They appear when you least expect them and you can spend more time trying to get rid of them than enjoying your experience on the Internet. Adding popup blockers can solve this annoying problem and make your Internet experience more pleasant. Popup blockers can be installed as plugins or activated within Firefox's tools.

Instructions

1. Turn on the built-in Firefox popup blockers. These blockers are accessible through Firefox's options. They can be turned on and customized to your preferences. Part of the customizations includes allowing pages to be excluded from the popup blocker. Firefox 3.0 currently has this feature.

2. Try the AdBlock plugin to stop popups. AdBlock is a highly rated blocker that can remove those annoying popups and popunders. Since it's a plugin, it is integrated into Firefox. When you add it, you must restart Firefox to see it in action. Once activated, you can turn it on and off at your leisure. You should see the amount of popups and popunders decrease as you use this product. If you aren't pleased with this blocker, you can uninstall it or disable it in your Addons options.

3. Checkout the Yes Popups plugin as an alternative for a blocker for Firefox. It removes popups and can be toggled on and off. Once you add this plugin to your Firefox session, restart Firefox to watch it in action. Customize your options by accessing your Addons options. This plugin also includes a plugin toolbar in Firefox so you can easily activate or deactivate it at your leisure.
