I don't like that after years of use Firefox now prevents a site I use from opening a new window unless I click "Allow". Can I eliminate this?

I go to my bank's web site for online banking and sign in with username and password. I click "Accounts", and Firefox blanks the screen and pops up with "Firefox blocked this site from opening another window" and I need to click "Allow" in order to continue. This happens with other sites as well. You'd think that after years of daily using the site this wouldn't be necessary. I find this feature annoying and I'd like to eliminate it.

Why do I have to jump through these hoops to eliminate this? It was never a problem with the previous version of Firefox. I'm not sure this is a pop-up problem anyway. Firefox just won't allow the site I'm on to advance to the next page AFTER I've requested to continue.
