how do i stop firefox from blocking web sites?

more options

Almost every time I open a new window, a little toolbar pops up that tells me ,"Firefox " has blocked this site! It gives me the option to "ALLOW". When I click on "ALLOW" , the site will open. I have the pop-up blocker turned off, so why does Firefox keep blocking me??? It is very frustrating!

Without seeing a screenshot, it's difficult to diagnose what the problem is.

My first guess would be that it may be that you have your Parental Controls enabled on firefox, if that is the case you should check out parental controls to see of you can find the answer there.
