- Rated 5 out of 5by EruMagus, 6 years agoEs la mejor aplicacion para bloquear ventanas no deseadas que se abran solas antes tenia una app en chrome pero cuando me cambie a firefox 57 es lo primero que necesitaba.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13368032, 7 years agoI was missing a white-/blacklist feature but I found it in the beta. Now it's perfect, except that it blocks the private-browsing-window...
- Rated 5 out of 5by Freddy T-Power, 7 years agoBefore I installed ( Popupblocker ) I had 2 Ad Blockers one which is Extremely Popular.
.
And MOST of the Time 2 Unwanted New Open Windows would get Through including that FAKE Annoying
( Microsoft has Found a Virus Please Call us )
.
But After Installing ( Popupblocker ) and w/o making ANY adjustments to it:
.
I INTENTIONALLY clicked on 45 Sites / Links I ALWAYS Had a POP UP / Unwanted New Window Problem with.
.
I even Persisted Clicking, and not a Single Pop Up or Unwanted Window Came Through NOT ONE!!
.
I can see The Instant FLASH of some of the Pop Ups / Unwanted Windows TRYING to Come Through but not a Single ONE eve did!!
.
I Noticed sometimes I had to Persist Clicking on a Button to get a Page I wanted but it ALWAYS went through ( mostly after 4-5 Clicks ) but that's a Perfect Price to Pay to avoid the bad Ones!!
.
So Far it FEELS to Good To Be TRUE, but so far it's TRUE!
It Works ( At Least for Me it dose! )
.
I STRONGLY Recommend Everyone to Test this one!!
.
I will be Posting This Review and Recommendation On My Facebook Help Page Were I help KODI / Movies and PC Users .

Only one little problem: not all popups are blocked when I set "Allow all new tabs" and I put a website in the blacklist. Some popups of blacklisted website open - Rated 3 out of 5by Nick Blank, 7 years agoIt is nice but I unintalled it because crashes when I make Firefox work with 4 processes.Please solve this

posted 7 years agoIn Firefox Beta it does run with multiprocess active on my machine.
Only in Firefox Nightly it does not run with multiprocess. But i also coudn't get other "Compatible with Firefox 57+" add-ons run in Nightly with multiprocess. So i assume, it is a bug in Nightly. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 11191300, 7 years agoIt not as good as the one I had before I reinstalled my OS and made a backup of wrong FF folder – it's damn slow and lets all popups open, but closes them a second later, so it does its job as intended. For me good enough, if dev will manage to actually block popups then it will be delightful.
I'm not sure though if „block all tabs” settings should prohibit user from opening anything, even if it's clearly at his will (like opening bookmark or new tab at all). I guess all really means all here, heh. - Rated 3 out of 5by Juanka Hula, 7 years agoCould you add the option to block the popups instead of opening and closing them? Or could you make the closing be instant? The windows specially take a lot of time and the tabs make the screen blink. Which is annoying for sites that try to open a new tab almost every time you click.
Could you add the option to allow all popups except for pages on the blacklist and the blacklist to have the option to block tabs, windows or both?
EDIT: Thanks for your response. Would be nice to maybe create a github so people can leave you suggestions or bug reports there.Developer response
posted 7 years agoThank you for your feedback.
I'll try to implement these features in version 2.0, but it will take some time. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12858060, 7 years agoEs blockiert nicht nur, dass Webseiten neue Fenster öffnen. Sondern man soll sogar bestätigen, wenn man selber ein neues Fenster aufmacht, dass das neue Fenster wirklich gewollt ist. :D

posted 7 years agoThank you for your feedback. Could you please provide some more information for example operating system, installed add-ons and an example website where the blocker fails. Maybe you could also try with a clean profile.
You can contact me at joofthan1@gmail.com
This would be really helpful.
Edit:
Thanks for your e-mail with detailed information. I developped version 1.1.2 which now is also able to block the tab popups you mentioned.
