Pop-up Blockers

Various web browsers (e.g. Internet Explorer (IE), or Firefox) have tools to turn on or off text windows called "Pop-ups". When visiting unfamiliar web pages, it is precautionary to block these pop-up windows as they could be used to display annoying ads or possibly impose a security risk. However, several applications at UH require these pop-up windows and they should be added as "trusted" sites. One is the MyUH site: http://myuh.hawaii.edu used for registration, and the other is the UH Web Mail site: http://gmail.hawaii.edu

The following are instructions on how to allow trusted sites for the popup blockers for different browsers:

Internet Explorer 6/7/8:

Firefox 2.0x/Mac or Windows:

Firefox 3.0x/Mac or Windows:

Google Chrome/Mac or Windows: 

Safari/Mac OS X:

Other Pop-up Managers/Toolbars:
