Why does the pop up blocker bar not always give you the option to view a blocked pop up?
Usually when Firefox notifies you that a pop up has been blocked it gives you the option to view the blocked pop up. However, sometimes that option is not there. Typically this isn't a problem at all but once in a while there will be a pop up that I wish to view but there is no option to view it. Does anyone know why the pop up blocker will sometimes give you the fourth option to "Show 'www.blockedwebsite.com'" and sometimes will only give you the three options of "Allow pop-ups for the site", "Edit Pop-Up Blocker Options", and "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked"? How can I view a blocked pop-up when it only provides the first three options and not the fourth option to view it? I hope my question was clear enough. Thanks in advance!

It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
Thank you for the response, I appreciate it. I don't think my issue has to do with there being more than 20 pop ups though. A lot of the time I want to view a pop up but don't have the option to, I am on a legitimate website and I am curious as to whether the blocked pop up was important or not. As I said, Firefox usually gives me the option to view it but sometimes it doesn't.
