Pop Ups Blocked When I Want To Allow Them

I've recently done a fresh install to solve another issue and have had to customise my settings, add-ons etc. Since I did this I cannot respond to Dreamwidth comments from my e-mails without getting the message that the pop up is blocked and clicking allow each time. If I do hold down ctrl and click reply this gets round it but it doesn't switch me into the relevant tab which is something I've always appreciated as I often have lots of tabs open.

I've tried not blocking pop-ups at all and adding dreamwidth.org as allowed and www.dreamwidth.org as allowed but none of these seem to help.

I'd appreciate it if anyone knows where I've gone wrong. I might have something ticked or unticked that I'm unaware of.

I have Mozilla set not to remember anything but that was always the case before so I don't think it should be an issue.

HI Auds77, The only other preference for pop ups are if you right click on the page and select "Page Information"

The Permissions tab will have the pop up rule for the webpage.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:

  • do not clear the Site Preferences

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
