I have enabled pop ups for certain websites, but Firefox still blocks them

I need pop ups allowed for some websites I visit. These websites are all on the "allow pop ups" listing. When the status bar comes up at the top when a pop up is blocked, my options are to block, edit, or don't show this message. So, Firefox "knows" that the website is allowed but it still blocked it. Any suggestions about how to fix this so I can get the settings correct?

This happens in Safe Mode?

Also check if your antivirus or firewall are blocking the popup.

Did you already see this article?

Not sure if this will help you or not.

There is a preference for the maximum number of popups allowed from a single domain to keep bad coding or a malicious website from creating an infinite loop of popups.
