Firefox preventing my console bot opening more than 20 tabs
So I made a bot that can open a list of tabs from a website but at about 20 tabs they stop opening and firefox starts blocking them as pop-ups even though I have it set to allow them. Any Ideas how I can solve this?

How do you run a console bot? Is that a script injected into the website?
You could try increasing the following value to see whether this is the relevant limitation. Note that this is global and would apply to normal website scripts, too.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste pop and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the dom.popup_maximum preference and enter your preferred value. Maybe try 40 first and see whether that's enough.

Thanks, it worked, and I mean console bot as in opening console from inspect element and pasting in my bot code.
Hmm, I guess the web console runs scripts in the context of the page so that's why it is subject to that preference.
Yeah, would make sense for that to happen.
