Hello Sandrine,

To open a VF page in a popup you need to select the Behaviour for the button as "Execute Javascript" and add the javascript in the text area as below.

window.open('/apex/test','mypopup','top=150,left=200,location=1,status=1,scrollbars=1, width=500,height=600'); 

Hope this helps.

Make your VFP to use Standard Controller the object where you are using this popup. like if it is account then 
  
<apex:page StandardController="Account" >
Chose content source as VFP and select the page you want to open in popup.

Otherwise you could chose Execute Java Script and use Window.open( java script method to open it in popup.

Thanks

Same here - seems like Execute Javascript option is deprecated to some extent. Still searching for way to get a VF page to open as a modal popup.
