Why is Firefox asking for permission to open a new tab for Fox News?

In the past week Firefox for Android has started asking me to Deny or Allow a pop-up window from Fox News when I want to open a link as a new tab. I routinely open a series of tabs on different sites, then close them as I finish reading each one. Firefox only asks this for Fox News, not any other site. I have changed no settings. Would you please help me get back to being able to open a link in a new tab?

Hi Suzie

I am seeing the same thing. I think that this is an issue with their website rather than an issue with Firefox for Android.
