So, I want to turn the message that tells you when a pop-up(s) has been blocked as is shown here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting Unintentionally, I clicked on 'don't show this message anymore'. How to turn this on again? Thank you.

You can look at this pref on the about:config page and reset them via the right-click context menu to restore the pop-up info bar at the top:

  • privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage = true

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
