Your courses in Moodle may contain activities, assignments, links, and other resources that will open as a pop-up in your browser. However, your browser may be configured to prevent any pop-ups from appearing. This tutorial will provide instructions on how to manage pop-ups with a variety of Internet browsers:
Mozilla Firefox
With Mozilla Firefox, the best way to navigate to the pop-up manager is by selecting the Open Application Menu (three stacked horizontal lines, then selecting Settings from the menu bar at the top of your Firefox window.
The following screen will appear:
Use the Search box in the top right and type in "popup".
At this point, you can enable all pop-ups to appear by unchecking the Block pop-up windows box (you do not need to save.) However, if you only want to allow pop-ups from specific websites, then you will need to click the Exceptions button to the right.
When the Allowed Sites window appears, type the URL (or web address) for any website you wish to see pop-ups from. For instance, you can enter the Lane CC website (www.lanecc.edu) or the Moodle page (classes.lanecc.edu). After you have entered the web address. Click Allow and Save Changes.
Please Note
It should be noted that Mozilla Firefox will prevent most automatic pop-ups from appearing. When that occurs, a yellow bar near the top of your browser will appear, asking if you would like to see the blocked pop-ups. You will also be able to allow pop-ups from that site to appear.
