Why does the "show the blocked pop-up" option not appear?

The pop-up blocker used to give the option to "show the blocked pop-up." This option is listed in parentheses on the Pop-Up Blocker help page. Since I upgraded to FireFox 9.0.1 (and still in 10.0) I often don't have the option to "show the blocked pop-up." Some sites are really unusable without this option.

There also used to be a question about this on the forums. It still shows up in a Google search, but not by searching FireFox Help. I'm running Windows XP, but the op was running Windows 7. I have not noticed the problem on my Linux machine at home.

My question is: Why does this option not (always) appear, and is there any way to make it appear?

Thanks!
