While searching with Google for instructions on how to re-enable pop-up blocker notification messages, I found this discussion thread, where it was mentioned that FF places a icon in the status bar if pop-ups are blocked and notification messages are disabled. I have never seen such an icon in my FF installation. Some experimentation revealed that the icon does display if the FF default theme is selected, but not in the custom themes I am currently using: Alfred Kayser's Walnut2 1.8.60, and Ken Barbalace's Classic Compact 3.6.0.

Is this a problem with FF, or with specific themes? If you have the pop-up notification message disabled, do you see a notification icon in your status bar when pop-ups are blocked? Which custom theme are you using when you see it? Thanks...

If it doesn't work with a custom theme then the theme makers didn't include that icon in its theme. You can contact the creators of those themes and inform them about that.

You can re-enable the sliding info bar at the top of the browser.

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
