Issues with Google Sheets in Firefox
For quite some time, certain pop ups will not appear when trying to work in Google Sheets through the Firefox desktop browser. I have gone into the browser's settings and allowed pop ups for the exact link for Google Sheets, but that has not fixed the issue. The pop ups that won't work are the ones for resizing columns/rows, and the "Save as a PDF" export option. If I open my Google Sheets in Google Chrome, it works just fine, but I switched to Firefox so I could stop using that browser. Any insight on how to fix this is much appreciated.

This is being caused by the ClearURLs addon. It's been a longstanding silent problem of the addon. It just breaks a lot of things on Google Sheets. A fix is supposedly being worked on by the owner of the addon.
Look in your Addons area, disable the ClearURLs addon, restart Firefox and test opening popups & resizing columns/rows on Google Sheets again. Do not turn the addon back on until a new update has been released for it. My guess is it will take a couple of months for him to create a fix. He works very slowly.

If you really need a replacement addon to clean up long urls, you can try the alternative NeatURL. But please becareful, these addons can break random websites because they are too good at cleaning up long urls.
So if you see a website acting weird, not allowing you to login or something failing to work on a site, don't be afraid to disable your addons including NeatURL.
