When Firefox blocks a popup, why isn't one of the options "Allow once"?

When Firefox blocks a popup, a notice banner appears at the top of the screen, telling you that Firefox blocked a popup.

At the right side of the banner is an "Options" box with some popup blocker configuration options..

But all I want to do is allow this one popup one time.

Why isn't that one of the options?

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
