Why are all popups blocked, despite block popups option NOT ticked?
A couple of months ago, out of the blue, the popups no longer came up on firefox. What I was doing was urgent, so I used IE ( grrr!! ) instead. I am still having this problem - despite the 'block popups' option being unticked, no popups are working. What can be wrong? thanks for any help!

Not related to your question, but your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

Disable the Java Quick Starter extension: Tools -> Addons -> Extensions
Control Panel -> Java -> Advanced tab -> Miscellaneous -> Java Quick Starter (disable)

I have just tracked down the problem! It appears to be the ZoneAlarm Toolbar extension! When I disable this, popups work fine, re-enable and again no popups.
