What is PopUp?

"PopUp" is a lightweight Firefox add-on aimed at enhancing browsing experience by opening pages with minimal browser UI. With PopUp, webpages load in a separate, simplified pop up version that does away with superfluous features like bookmarks and the navigation bar. The add-on also provides access to browser tabs and gives users the option to modify bookmarks for a streamlined browsing experience.
