Some computers or servers block certain websites that you need to access. Sometimes getting around this is tricky, but in most cases it's relatively easy to do. Unblocking websites in Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer takes a few clicks and a little bit of know-how.
Instructions
Firefox
- 1
Look at the top screen of Mozilla Firefox and click the "Tools" menu then click on "Preferences." The "Tools" menu allows you to change your browser settings.
2Select the blue globe named "Content." The first option should be "Block Pop-up Windows." Deselect the box to allow pop-ups; if the site you are trying to access is a pop-up page, then your pop-up blocker might be blocking it.
3Choose "Allow Exceptions" and enter the web address you want unblocked. It only unblocks that one site so you're not overrun with ads.
Internet Explorer
- 4
Click on the "Tools" tab at the top of your browser window then select the option called "Pop-up Blocker" in Internet Explorer. Select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker." Now all pop-ups are enabled.
5Browse through a web proxy. A web proxy, such as Night Star Productions, allows you to access blocked websites (see Resources).
6Type the complete URL, including the http://, of the web page you're trying to access into the space provided on the web proxy website. The URL is the address of the web page.
