PS  I posted this answer on a related question  Here s how I got round the issue of my async ajax request losing the trusted context    I opened the popup directly on the users click  directed the url to about blank and got a handle on that window  You could probably direct the popup to a  loading  url while your ajax request is made  var myWindow   window open  about blank   name   height 500 width 550     Then  when my request is successful  I open my callback url in the window   function showWindow win  url         win open url  name   height 500 width 550

A browser will only open a tab popup without the popup blocker warning if the command to open the tab popup comes from a trusted event  That means the user has to actively click somewhere to open a popup   In your case  the user performs a click so you have the trusted event  You do lose that trusted context  however  by performing the Ajax request  Your success handler does not have that event anymore  The only way to circumvent this is to perform a synchronous Ajax request which will block your browser while it runs  but will preserve the event context   In jQuery this should do the trick     ajax    url   http   yourserver     data   your image    success  function   window open someUrl      async  false       Here is your answer  Open new tab without popup blocker after ajax call on user click

As a general rule  pop up blockers target windows that launch without user interaction  Usually a click event can open a window without it being blocked   unless it s a really bad popup blocker   Try launching after a click event
