How To Allow Pop-Ups For WisFIRS: Chrome

To use WisFIRS, pop-ups must be allowed in your browser. If you try to open a pop-up and it does not open, a blocked symbol will appear in the upper right corner of the browser.

There are two ways to allow pop-ups in Google Chrome.

Responding To The Alert

When you try to open a feature that launches a pop-up, Chrome may display an alert in the top right corner of the browser.
