Firefox (Windows or Mac): Check for pop-up blockers

1. Select the Menu, then choose Options.
2. The Options window will appear; select the Content tab.
3. Go to the Pop-Ups section and uncheck the box or select the Exceptions button and add qbo.intuit.com as an exception.
4. Select Save Changes.
5. Once adjusted, log out, close Firefox, reopen it and log back in.

Things to consider:

• There are various toolbars that have their own pop-up blockers. The menu option or icons for the pop-up blocker will vary between different toolbars.
