Firefox blocking popups from specific (allowed) website

Firefox 3.6.12

I was using this website on previous FF version without a problem. In recent versions it keeps blocking this website's popups although I allowed it in the popup blocker list. Even if I turn the blocker off it still blocks this website. Other websites work just fine.

Please advice.

Thanks :)

If websites have a lot of pop-up then you may run into a maximum.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/dom.popup_maximum

Thanks cor-el, I've tried changing the dom.popup_maxumum from 20 to 30. And it changed nothing. This website has just a few necessary popups (less than 20 per session). I clear FF history etc. on exit.
