Firefox will not open pop-ups that I want (Amazon shipping forms, Google Bookmarks widget) and it's NOT that I have the pop-up blocker on. I have uninstalled and re-installed and still have the issue

So, I know that the pop-up blocker is in Tools>Options>Content, but I have that unchecked.

Yet, I need these pop-ups to open and they won't.

Ideas?

Much appreciated.

I have had this issue before and there was a simple fix but I can't remember it now!

With the Block Pop-ups checkbox checked temporarily, click the Exceptions buttons and make sure those sites are not blocked (either allowed or not listed at all).

Pop-ups usually are generated using JavaScript. So that also needs to be enabled in the Content Options.

Pop-ups can be blocked by other add-ons. Do you use any security toolbars? If so, check their options.

Hi jscher2000.

I already did that and there are no sites listed as exceptions.

I also have the javascript option enabled.

I don't have any other security tollbras - so I remain flummoxed.
