Disable "Prevent this page from creating additional dialogs" for certain websites as a user
This behaviour can be controlled by setting the config parameter dom.successive_dialog_time_limit
. This integer value represents a time window in seconds since the last pop-up. If a website generates a new pop-up within that window, Firefox will instead trigger the "Prevent..." dialog.
To set this value:
- Copy this string to your clipboard: dom.successive_dialog_time_limit
- In FireFox Address bar Enter: about:config and press enter.
- Accept the warning dialog.
- In the preferences area right-click.
- Select New-> Integer
- Paste the string you copied previous and click OK
- Enter the integer 0 in the next dialog box and click OK.1
- Close the about:config page.
1: for most cases, setting this value to 1 or 2 seconds will be sufficient to allow pop-up heavy websites to work without interruption while still stopping malicious infinite pop-up JavaScript code.
