How to Allow Pop–ups
This wikiHow teaches you how to allow pop-up ads and notifications in your web browser. While sometimes irritating, pop-ups may be essential for certain websites to function properly.  Nearly all web browsers disable pop-ups by default, but you can disable pop-up blocking on all major web browsers except for Firefox on Android phones and tablets. If you've installed a third-party pop-up blocker, you'll need to remove it as well, as it may also be blocking pop-ups.
