I keep adding sites to the allowed list in the popup blocker menu under options. I can confirm the site are added and allowed to pop-up windows after I add the URLs to the exception list. When I close Firefox and reopen it, the allowed list is gone. I have start from scratch and re-populate my allowed list. I am running 11.0 and I believe the problem started in 10.0

How can I get FF to remember my allowed pop-ups?

Hi,

Please see this. Please also note that if Clear history when Firefox closes is enabled in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Privacy, then Site Preferences under Settings shouldn't be enabled. Options > Privacy
