How to Disable Pop-Up Blockers


Pop-up blockers are useful tools that block annoying pop-up ads while you working on the web.  However, there are times when pop-up windows are unnecessarily blocked by these tools.  MFA home uses pop-up windows in many of its applications.  If pop-ups are not enabled on MFA home, some applications will not work properly.  This document is intended to help you disable pop-up blockers to allow you to fully utilize MFA home.  If you do not see your particular pop-up blocker listed here, then contact the help desk at 876-5558.

To test and see if pop-up windows are disabled on your browser, click this link.  If no pop-up window is opened, then you will need to enable pop-ups before you continue to MFA home.  It is important to note that you may have multiple pop-up blockers running at one time. 

Note:  Many pop-up blockers allow you to temporaly allow pop-ups by holding down the CTRL key while clicking on the hyperlink.

Windows XP will often turn on the pop-up blocker within Internet Explorer by default. To disable this blocker you must turn it off through the tools menu as shown below.  If you want to turn off pop-up for MFA home only, then follow the instructions for version 7.0
