Скорашњи одговори на Missing option to show blocked popup in yellow notification barhttps://support.mozilla.org/sr/questions/9492282013-07-27T06:07:20-07:00Thank you.

Cor-el's solution is exactly the right solution to the problem of using only the native Firefox popup blocker <strong>and</strong> having accidentally clicked the option to not show options if popups are blocked. It appears that about:config is the only way that this particular problem even can be solved, since Tools|Options|Content has only the ability to block or not block (and make exceptions for specific sites).

just to rectify, here's the bug:

It's likely they're generated by ads, in which case they could be random, or based on the user's IP address.
In short, I could reload that page multiple times and never get the exact same thing you do. Maybe someone else on this forum can reproduce the issue.

<p>Since it works for some sites, but not others, that seems to be the case. But since I've never seen the fourth option missing myself, I can't say what might be causing it. Again, maybe someone else can reproduce the problem, and if so, dig through the site code to find out what might be triggering it.

<p>If the information bar doesn't show up, then no pop-ups are blocked. Users can also hide it, in which case blocked pop-up notifications will appear solely as an icon on the right side of the address bar. But the latter is not your case.
</p><p>If it does show up, then you can click the Options button on it, choose “Allow pop-ups for <a href="http://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">www.example.com</a>”, then reload the page either by clicking the button to the right of the address bar, or by pressing the F5 key. Any pop-ups that were blocked before can then be opened normally.
</p><p>You're welcome.
</p>Would like to report a very recent experience with FF and popups that maybe you can try also. After2013-02-03T03:46:40-08:00ChrisLotthttps://support.mozilla.org/sr/questions/949228#answer-404436<p>Would like to report a very recent experience with FF and popups that maybe you can try also. After posting the reply above I was reading the NY Times Sunday magazine with FF. Upon loading the magazine's page at <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/magazine/" rel="nofollow">http://www.nytimes.com/magazine/</a> FF showed the yellow information bar across the top of the screen "Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window". Now that I'm sensitized to the issue&nbsp;:) I clicked the Options button, but this time only three options are there: Allow pop-ups for <a href="http://www.nytimes.com" rel="nofollow">www.nytimes.com</a>, Edit pop-up blocker options..., and Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked.
</p><p>Notably absent is that last option, "Show (url...)". So you suggest this is a site-specific behavior? If FF managed to notice that some bit of code (javascript?) wants to open a window and blocks it, why can't it keep the URL of the window it's trying to open?
</p>Thanks very much for the quick reply and especially for the test links.
Re bank sites and desirabl2013-02-03T03:35:11-08:00ChrisLotthttps://support.mozilla.org/sr/questions/949228#answer-404431<p>Thanks very much for the quick reply and especially for the test links.
</p><p>Re bank sites and desirable popups - I mean that I've visited sites without realizing they needed popups enabled, so didn't know to add an exception. And when the yellow notification bar appeared, the option about opening a popup was absent.
</p><p>Re test link 1 at w3schools - FF loads a three-pane window. On the right side is a button "Open". If I click that button, FF opens a new tab showing the w3schools' home page. This is not what I call a popup, for what that's worth. I guess this confirms that javascript is enabled and working in my browser?
</p><p>Re test link 2 at popuptest - FF loads the page but does not open any popup windows. It *does* show the notification bar "Firefox prevented this site ...", and when I click the "Options" button that appears there I *do* see options "Show (url 1)", "Show (url 2)" and "Show (url 3)" . This is the feature that I was searching for!!
</p><p>So clearly that feature is still in FF and working. Thanks for setting me straight.
</p><p>You seem to be guessing that the root cause of my complaint is a site-specific behavior. Now I realize I didn't save the URL of the credit card site where I missed a critical popup. Would this mean that on some sites that show a popup, the FF notification-bar "Options" button fails to show the url and the option to open the pop up?

</pre>
<p>What do you mean? If you add an exception for a site, then no pop-ups from that site are blocked. You don't need the information bar to add an exception: you can add exceptions in the Options window, Content panel. See the Pop-up Settings section of the article you linked to:

<p>It might be a site-specific issue.
</p><p>1. Can you see the pop-up window when clicking the Open Window button on the following page? It should open normally, with no information bar displayed.
</p>
<ul><li> <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_openwindow" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_openwindow</a>
</li></ul>
<p>2. The following page should trigger the information bar. Can you see the menu items with the blocked pop-up window URLs?
</p>

</p><pre>But the doc is odd about this one issue, the option text is shown in parentheses only and no text mentions it:
</pre>
<p>The menu item says something like, <em>Show ‘<a href="http://www.example.com/pop-up.html’" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/pop-up.html’</a></em>. The support article can't mention a specific URL, since it differs for each user.

<p>That's the default value. As you can see from the article you linked to, that preference apparently has no effect.
