How do I turn on the pop-up blocked message? When the message came up I clicked on Do not show this message again. I want this message to show when Firefox blocks a pop-up so I can allow the pop-up if I want to.

I've read also that you can go via the status bar to fix this but I can't get that to show either. Please help!

If you do not get the info bar then you can look at this pref on the about:config page and reset this pref via the right-click context menu to restore the pop-up info bar at the top:

  • privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
