2nd try. 1) firefox isn't blocking popups even though its set to 2) firefox doesn't recognize when I click "allow"
Firefox has been allowing all sorts of pop-ups even though I've established the block in the content. This is just one of the pop-up sites: http://partners.livingsocial.com/cities/soon?ref=cpxpop
When I go to a website I'm interested in a ribbon comes up at the top of the screen telling me to "allow". But when I click this it disappears for a second and then comes right back asking again. I have to check the X in order to get it to go away and that doesn't always work. I've even "allowed" certain sites on the options pages but that doesn't seem to make a difference.

I have the same pop-up. One comes from the New York Post
There may be a problem with malware if unrelated pop-ups are opening or you are redirected to unrequested websites.
Do a malware check with some malware scan programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.
