Why won't Firefox display a pop-up for a website I have listed in the Exceptions to pop-up blocking?

The website is http://courtweb.pamd.uscourts.gov. It uses pop-up windows to display court opinions. After I listed the website in the exceptions for the Firefox pop-up blocker, the pop-up window appears and then immediately disappears. I am unable, using Firefox, to view opinions of U.S. federal courts. Nothing in the Firefox help information about blocking pop-up windows addresses this issue.

Hi, it could be in your Security Software that you have. Please check your settings and exempt it there also.

What Extensions are you running ? How are you set up regarding Private Mode, 3rd Party Cookies ?

Please : Try Firefox Safe Mode to TEST & see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold the Shift key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key while starting Firefox.
  • On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox -safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
