Firefox not blocking popup windows


Recommended Posts

Firefox 55.0.3 X64, some websites (random at that) I visit seem to ignore the fact that I have popups disabled. I have a 3rd party extension that only works per session, so that makes it pointless. These sites open new windows/tabs with some sort of ad sites, even though I have uBlock Origin and No-script installed. Is there anything I can do to correct this behavior?

Those are most likely popunders and not popups. You can block them via uBlock, add them as you come across them or blacklist the domain hosting them. Also, you can check your filter settings and add additional filter lists to combat them as well. It could also be 3rd party scripts, which you can also block through uBlock. Inspect the element and see if it is a script causing the popunder, use the element picker to block whatever is the cause.
