The code for testing and disabling if necessary would have to be something like: tell application "System Events" tell process "Safari" tell menu item "Block Pop-up Windows" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Safari" of menu bar 1 if (value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" exists) then click end tell end tell end tell NG
