Why does the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappear, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions?
I am at http://www.closys.com/samples_&_coupons/get_a_coupon.html and the pop up window for a printable coupon only appears briefly (in the upper left corner) and then disappears, even after putting the web site into the Tools,Options,Content,Pop-Up Exceptions. What gives and how can it be fixed. I have a time limit. Thanks for your solution. Dan

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> Remove Checkmark from Block Pop-up windows
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.

Mha007: Sorry, but your easy solution did not work. I tried it and when I reopened Firefox and went back to the various web sites, they still exhibited the same quickly disappearing pop-up window in the upper left corner. I am not surprised though, because I have had the Block pop-up windows box checked forever and the problem just started occurring within the last week or so. Prior to this I always got the informational row that appears at the top of the screen and allows us to pick from several choices regarding pop-up windows. When I accessed this site, I did get the info. row, but I clicked on allow pop-ups on this web page, and then is when I started getting the disappearing pop-up windows. Thanks for responding though.

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmark on Block Pop-up windows -> click Exceptions... button -> type the address of the website on which you want to allow Pop-ups to appear e.g. www.google.com and click Allow
-> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
Note: See this link for enlightening on Pop-ups not being blocked
Mha007: Sorry, but I have already tried this too and verified that the web addresses are listed as Allow, rather than Block. After restart there was no difference, I still get the disappearing pop-up windows. Thanks for offering suggestions though. Have you heard of any issues like this occurring based on the number of tabs that are open in Firefox? Just a thought, even though I have not heard of this as an issue before. I keep about 80 tabs open regularly, because of research that I am always conducting (I am a blogger, a writer/author, a technophile-especially Green Tech.,), email, work, etc.? I do have a check in the box for Firefox to let me know if the number of open tabs is causing slow down or other issues. Thanks for any help.
