 * Hi,
 * When the popup is open on a page, is there a way to disable a user from scrolling
   the browser behind the popup?
 * I can scroll content inside of the popup, but if I move my cursor outside of 
   the popup I can scroll up/down the page behind the popup. Is there any way to
   not have it scroll?
 * Thanks

 * Hello [@astreck2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/astreck2/),
 * hope you’re doing good today! 🙂
 * There’s already a setting for this. Please edit your popup, go to **Display Settings**,
   scroll down a bit and you should find an option (switch) labeled: **“Allow page
   to be scrolled while Pop-up is visible”**
    Simply disable it and you should be
   good!

 * Hi,
 * It appears I already had that option disabled and the background browser is still
   scrolling.
 * Plus, the scrollbar inside the popup is missing in FireFox too.
