Not tracking. This plugin is not very popular and we won't block the release for this bug.
Jorge, what would be the best course of action on this bug? Thanks.

This looks like something that needs to be fixed on the add-on side. There are many ways to open windows without triggering the popup blocker. I'll notify the developer about this.
