On a few websites, when asked to enter some information in a pop up window, after entering the information, the "submit" button at the bottom of the window does not work, and the pop up window won't close. Notably: paypal shipping and FedEx email tracking results. I have to use a different browser to make it work. Long time issue with firefox here; have tried refreshing, deleting cookies, cache, etc. Nothing helps

Hi timtoonz, Do you have 'Block Pop-up Windows' checked in Options -> Privacy & Security -> Permissions? Add an exception for those sites and see if it works.
