How can I block pop ups using config:about?

I'm looking for a way to block all pop ups (in my case the upload file dialog) using the config:about. I've tried: dom.disable_open_during_load:false privacy.popups.plicy:2

But they don't seem to block the upload file dialog, when I use view page info-->permissions-->open pop up windows-->block then the pop up is blocked.

thanks.

I think you mean about:config, right?

Setting dom.disable_open_during_load to false actually disables the popup blocker, so go ahead and reset that to the default. Or just check the box in Options > Content.

If you look at dom.popup_allowed_events you will see that Firefox allows popups for certain actions it assumes are user generated. If you are finding that sites are tricking Firefox by displaying popups without a user action, you can clear this list of some or all of its items. Then in theory you should see many fewer popups. However, I haven't tested it myself.
