I asked AI: "I'm being prevented from using options which cause pop ups but I don't think I've deliberately changed any settings. I want to use "analyze the board" on the Gameknot website but I'm being prevented from using it. How can I get it back?" I followed the instructions: "Mozilla Firefox: Click the three lines (top right) > Settings > Privacy & Security > Permissions. Go to the "Pop-up windows" section and click Exceptions, then add https://gameknot.com" but I haven't re-acquired use of the pop up I ant to continue working. I want it back and its extremely irritating as the work around is very long and boring.

Open a new tab, type "about:config" (without quotations) into the address bar, and press Enter. Click "Accept the Risk and Continue". In the search box at the top, paste: dom.popup_maximum If it is set to a low number, double-click it and change it to 20 or 30. Next, search for: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage Make sure this is set to true. This forces Firefox to show a clear yellow notification bar at the top of your screen whenever it blocks a pop-up, allowing you to explicitly click "Allow" on the fly.

Hope that helps!
