I have firefox 108.0.2. I have enabled the Block pop-up windows option. I have a local file that open popups (file:///local_path/a.html). When I open the file I get a notification that pop-ups are blocked. I try to put an exception in Block pop-up windows with the path: file:///local_path/a.html, but does not work (warning still appears) How I can do it?
