Toolbar button for disabling popup blocker?

more options

I would like to add a button to the toolbar that completely disables/enables the built-in popup blocker with a single click.

Our computers are used in a public access setting. Occasionally, a website will require the user to disable the browser's popup blocker, so I'm looking for a quick and easy way to do this without needing to open the Options screen.

I don't see any such button on the Customize screen. Does anyone know of any add-ons that can do this? Thank you!

in the options section you can block popups but there is also a box that you can designate which websites you want to b lock you can do that a the only option Firefox has

    If you see the location bar with the Site Info Site Info button button in the pop-up window, the pop-up is coming from Firefox.
   If you don't see the Site Info button button, you may have malware on your computer that causes the pop-ups. For help, see Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.
