1226678 - Allowed pop-up URL's stopped working with the latest update

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[rosquillas]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0
Build ID: 20151029151421

Steps to reproduce:

We have a web based system that uses a lot of pop-ups so I have it in the pop-ups autohrized list of URLs but in the last update 42 firefox started to block the pop-up even having the url in the list.


Actual results:

When I send to print an invoice the system try to open a pop-up wich is allowed but firefox blocks it anyway.


Expected results:

The pop-up should open without being blocked since the URL is listed as allowed to open pop-ups

Rosquillas, please can you confirm whether this issue is still reproducible when you start Firefox with a new profile?

Also, could you provide a specific example of a page that suffers from this problem?

Hello, 

The issue disappeared with a new profile. It is still there with the original profile. 

Try http://datamine.exainternal.com:16780 

Clicking any of both links creates a popup, with my default profile it fails to open correctly even when the url is whitelisted.

Most probably you are seeing the issue due to the settings that were done on your profile.
I strongly recommend a profile reset:

I could not reproduce your issue on the latest Nightly.

For the time being, I'm setting the resolution to Resolved Worksforme. 
Rosquillas, feel free to reopen it if you are still having issue on a new or on a reseted profile.
