Sudheesh001,

Flipping that DOM preference is not advised and will not disable the pop-up blocker.

Patrick,

When you visit the site requesting a popup, a doorhanger will display offering the choice of denying all future pop-ups from appearing the site. You can clear this settings by long-tapping on the URL bar and selecting 'Edit Site Settings', and then clearing 'Block Popups'. Refresh the site and then the pop-up door-hanger will appear again and then going forward you can show the popups requested from that particular site.
