When I select a link to a website used daily, Firefox says it is blocking a popup window. I want to stop Firefox from doing this as I go to these websites daily and am tired of this irritant.

Hi,

Firefox popup blocking settings are in the preferences- have a look under the Edit menu, and the content tab contains your popup blocking options. You should be able to solve the problem by adding the website you're interested in to the exception list. Have a look at the article about it here.

Thanks. I had thought I'd tried that but must not have done so. Looks like it may work now.

This solution does not work !

Every time the popup window is blocked it can be seen that Tools/Options/Content/ Exceptions has the website listed but nothing stops the blocking.
