To allow pop-ups for specific websites please follow these steps:

Google Chrome prevents pop-ups from automatically appearing and cluttering your screen. Whenever the browser blocks pop-ups for a site, an icon appears on the top-right in the address bar.

  2. In the Allow section, click the Add button
  3. Enter the website address, then click Add

Firefox
