Expert Answer

If you're having trouble allowing pop-ups, you may have a pop-up blocker installed. Go to the settings for your browser and locate a list of your browser extensions. If there's a pop-up blocker enabled, disable it.

How do I know if the pop-up blocker is on or off with a Mac?

Community Answer

If the button "Block Pop-ups" is green, it means it on and blocking. If it's white, that site is unblocked.
