firefox blocks popups when I don't want it to

I had to reset Firefox and it works fine now with one exception: It blocks popups even though I don't want it to. I have unchecked the box in Options that relates to blocking popups. I have rebooted several times all to no avail. Practically every web site I seek is blocked until I hit the "allow" button that appears when I try to open the site. I can't find anything in the tech docs to answer this question and don't know where else to look.

Once I had the problem that firefox was opening the pop-up windows even when I didn't want them to be opened. Well I don't know how I corrected the problem. I think you should try to reset your settings and then try again.

I tried that. Didn't work.
