Firefox users know that the internet is a distracting place. There are annoying pop-ups and ads, trackers that collect your personal information to show you ads, and constant notifications that ask you to agree to a site’s cookies (so that you can be tracked and shown even more ads). Thankfully, there are solutions. You can block pop-ups with Firefox’s built-in browser feature. And you can block even more pop-ups, ad, and other distractions with a Firefox ad blocker like Adblock Plus.

To block pop-ups in Firefox:
  1. Open Firefox and click on the hamburger menu (the icon showing three lines stacked on top of each other) in the upper right corner.
  2. Navigate to Settings > Privacy & Security.
  3. Scroll down to Block pop-up windows and tick the box to on, turning it blue.
