Firefox is blocking popups that I want to see, even after I have unchecked the Block Popup Windows in Options.
There are several sites that provide popups that I want to see. Firefox had not been blocking them previously. Then today it did. I went to Options and listed these sites as exceptions. It still blocked them. I went to options and unchecked Block Popup Windows. It still blocked them. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled a new copy. It still blocks them. What do I do now?
BTW, this does not occur when I access the same sites with Internet Explorer.

Which security software (firewall) do you have?
Some can block pop-ups, so you need to check there as well.
It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):
I have the same issue. I am using windows 7 ultimate and have it on a laptop which has no issues. It is only one pop up i want to come up and it blocks it. I am using zone alarm as well, and I turn it off and it makes no difference. IE works and I HATE Microsoft. I wish Mozilla would come up with a fix.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
