I can't get firefox to allow any popups. I list site as an exception and still no pop ups. I need certain sites pop ups. An example would be a financial site.

Hi,

Please check if this happens in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensions, and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

It is possible that you run into this pop-up maximum (the default value is 20).

Also, make sure that you don't have any security software installed that would block a popup before it even got thru to Firefox.
