You can use the PopupBlocking policy.

i gave it a try to create a policies.json on /etc/firefox . but failed for me. { 

 "policies": {
     "PopupBlocking": {
         "Allow": ["https://www.xxx.net/"],
         "Default": true | false,
         "Locked": true | false
   }
 }

}

thanks a lot. i finally found two methods to meet my need. 1. set dom.disable_open_during_load to false 2. or copy a pre-set permissions.sqlite to profile directory.

You need to select only one of the "true | false" choices. 

{
  "policies": {
    "PopupBlocking": {
      "Allow": ["https://www.xxx.net/"],
      "Default": true,
      "Locked": false
    }
  }
}
