I unchecked the "block popups" under tools but Firefox continues to block them causing it not to function properly with some applications which require popup windows.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Do you have an add-on or some other program on your computer that is blocking pop-ups as well?

Can you point us a webpage where you are experiencing the problem?
