Configuring Pop-Up Notifications
Pop-Up Blocker automatically displays a count of pop-up windows that it has blocked since you opened the AT&T Yahoo! Browser in the lower-right corner of the browser window.
It can also notify you each time that it blocks a pop-up window. The notification can be an alert sound, a small window in the bottom-right corner of the browser, or both. The notification window looks like this:
You can also choose to have no immediate notification of a blocked pop-up window.
