When popups are blocked and icon appears on the address bar. When clicked it would show a menu with some options and the url's of the blocked pop-ups. Then a pop-up can be picked to open. Used to be good until the icon changed. Now there is no menu to pick a pop-up from. There is only the option to open all blocked pop-ups. Is it possible to have the menu back on the icon? The menu can be accessed on the button "Options" on the message that appears when pop-ups are blocked. But the message is annoying, takes thousands of pixels from the viewport. Ideally the menu should be accessible on a small icon, like it used to be.

Hi,

Would you please take a look at this article (if you haven't already) :

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting

Or are you by any chance talking about this add-on  ?

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/popup-blocker-ultimate/

If so : you could contact the developer - see under 'About this addon'
