Pop-up blocker: why is the "show the blocked pop-up" menu missing in the options?

There used to be the "show the blocked pop-up" menu item, whenever a pop-up is blocked by the pop-up blocker, I cannot see that menu these days.

Even in the pop-up blocker help entry, the menu item is in parentheses. Does it mean that sometimes the item would show up and sometimes don't?

What happened to this feature? I really loved this one, and it was one of the main reasons I started to use Firefox instead of IE.

Is there any way to enable this in about:config or something?

A menu item "show the blocked pop-up" can only have been added by an extension.
Older Firefox versions showed a pop-up block icon on the Status bar if a pop-up was blocked the the info bar at the top was disabled.
You now see that pop-up block icon on the right end side of the location bar because Firefox 4+ no longer have the status bar.

Thanks for your reply to this question. I believe that "show the blocked pop-up" was an option in FireFox's built-in popup blocker. As the OP mentioned, it is listed parenthetically on the Pop-Up Blocker Help Page. Also, I don't run much in the way of add-ons and extensions, and no extensions were disabled when I updated this morning, but nonetheless the option seems to have disappeared. Since this problem doesn't have many "me toos," maybe it only happens under specific circumstances?
