Pop-up windows are one of the most bothersome aspects of browsers, but QuickBooks Online occasionally displays critical information in one. For this reason, the pop-up functionality of Mozilla Firefox is crucial and must be activated when using the program. So, in this section, we’ll talk about how to enable pop-ups in Firefox without disabling the pop-up blocker. Users would prefer to prevent undesired pop-up windows since they are annoying, aggravating, and also create job interruptions.
What are Pop-ups and How to Enable Pop-ups in Mozilla Firefox for QuickBooks
If you have disabled a pop-up blocker on your system, the same thing that both pop-ups and pop-up windows are indicating can display automatically without your consent. Size is quite small and unable to completely cover the screen; some will appear at the top and some at the bottom of the Firefox window, respectively.
Firefox will show you an information bar when you block a pop-up (only if you haven’t already dismissed the same pop) and an icon called popup_icon_fx57 in the address bar. Either select popup_icon_fx57 (icon) in the address bar or click the Options button in the information bar.

On your screen, you’ll notice a menu containing the following options:
- To allow or prohibit pop-ups on the website.
- Edit pop-up blocker settings by clicking here.
- When pop-ups are disabled, don’t display this message on the screen.
- Demonstrate the blocked pop-up.
Note: To receive critical updates or information from QuickBooks Online, you must enable pop-up windows. Firefox enables a feature that lets you add your specific websites, including QuickBooks Online, to the list of approved websites. Blocking all pop-ups could result in you missing critical information, so instead of blocking pop-ups on all websites, you can allow certain websites that use pop-ups.
Step by Step Instructions to Enable Pop-ups in Mozilla Firefox for QuickBooks
Don’t worry; we’ll help you enable Mozilla Firefox’s built-in pop-up blocker.
Take a look at the actions listed below:
- The very first, select the Menu button
- Now, select Options then press and hold the F10 or ALT key to access the Tools menu
Note: If you use a Mac, you must first select Start from the Firefox menu before choosing Preferences.
- You must select Privacy and Security from the option on the left
- To completely disable the pop-up blocker, move your pointer to the Permission section and uncheck the box that appears next to Block pop-up windows
- Then click on Exception
- A dialog box with a list of websites will then appear on your screen
- Choose the websites you want to allow to display pop-ups, while blocking all other websites from doing so
- Choose from the following options in the dialog box framework depending on your need
- You can select one website at a time to add to the exception list using the Allow option in the dialog box
- To remove a website from the exclusion list, use the Remove option in the dialog box
- If you want to remove every website that has been added at once, go to the Remove all websites
- Simply type qbo.intuit.com into the Add Website box and select the Allow option
- Enter qdc.qbo.intuit.com and select the Allow option to add another website
- Now, select Save Changes
- Finally, Firefox must be closed and restarted.
It is particularly challenging to distinguish between the several toolbars’ icons because each one has its own pop-up blocker. Hover your mouse pointer over each icon individually to reveal a description of its features, which will then be shown on your screen. When you find the pop-up blocker icon, it will show you a complete list of the pop-ups you have blocked or enabled, along with their status right now.
Note: Select View >> Toolbars to see what toolbars you have and how to make them accessible.
How to Check Whether your Pop-ups are Coming for Firefox or Not?
Although pop-ups occasionally originate from sources other than Mozilla Firefox, their display on the Window makes it simple to determine where they came from.
- Only if you see the URL bar, the Tracking Protection button, the Site Identify button, a shield and a lock in the pop-up window displayed on the screen will you know that the pop-up is coming from Firefox
- If none of these buttons appear on your screen while you are receiving pop-ups, then you may have malware on your computer that can result in intrusive or unwanted pop-ups. Use a diagnostic tool to identify the problem
- Alternatively, you can use the QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool to identify any problems with connections to the Windows version of QuickBooks.
