Manage pop up blocker exceptions.

I need to exempt a site from the pop up blocker process. When I go to Privacy & Settings/Manage Exceptions, there is no text box or other way for me to enter the site. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to change some other setting to allow exceptions?

When on the site open the page info window (ctl+i), go to the Permissions tab and for Open pop-up windows click Allow (if that's what you want).

I had the same issue. To access the pop-up blocker settings:

1. Click the menu button and select Settings. 2. Select the Privacy & Security panel. 3. Go down to the Permissions section. 4. Click the "Exceptions" button to the right of Block pop-up windows to open a dialog box to choose which sites are allowed to display pop-ups.
