Toolbar Help

Pop-up windows or advertisements can interrupt what you're doing, but Toolbar's Pop-up blocker prevents most unwanted pop-ups from ever becoming a nuisance.

Enable or disable the Pop-up blocker

1. Click the Toolbar's wrench icon.
2. On the Tools tab, select (or deselect) the 'Pop-up blocker' checkbox.
3. Click Save.

Allow pop-up windows

To allow pop-ups for a specific website, click the Pop-up blocker button on the Toolbar. The button's icon should change from 'Pop-ups blocked' to 'Pop-ups allowed' .

If you allow pop-ups on a website, the Pop-up blocker saves your preference for future visits and adds the site to an 'Allowed sites' list. The next time you visit that website, the Pop-up blocker will continue to allow pop-up windows to appear. You can allow or disallow pop-ups by toggling the Pop-up blocker button on and off while on the site.

View the Pop-up blocker's 'Allowed sites' list

1. Click the Toolbar's wrench icon.
2. Click the Tools tab.
3. Click the Edit link next to the 'Pop-up blocker' checkbox.

If a website is listed in the Toolbar's 'Allowed sites' list, then the Toolbar shouldn't block pop-up windows from opening on that site. If you're still unable to open pop-up windows, verify Internet Explorer or your security software isn't blocking pop-up windows from opening.

Reset the Pop-up blocker counter

Click the Pop-up blocker button's drop-down menu, and select Reset count.

This feature is only available for Toolbar for Internet Explorer.
