User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 Build ID: 20171024165158 Steps to reproduce: Opening a popup link at a non-wishlisted domain makes Firefox open the popup bar. Unfortunately, the "Options" menu for the popup bar only offers the following three options: "Allow popups for domain Edit Popup Blocker Options... Don't show this message when popups are blocked" Actual results: The popup options has no option to allow a popup once, even though the old bug #584016 claims that to be the case. There are only three options. Expected results: There should be a fourth option, like "Allow this popup" or "Allow popup once", at the bottom of the popup option bar.

You should be able open the popup by clicking the identity block (on the very left side of the urlbar) and selecting "Show 1 blocked pop-up..." in the identity popup.

(In reply to Johann Hofmann [:johannh] from comment #1) > You should be able open the popup by clicking the identity block (on the > very left side of the urlbar) and selecting "Show 1 blocked pop-up..." in > the identity popup. If you mean the (i) symbol & the padlock that opens a popup menu with "Certification, Tracking Protection, and Permissions", there is nothing there for me to manipulate pop-ups in that menu. There is additionally no notification (an animation, a counter, etc.) during the opening of a blocked popup that would indicate the availability of controlling them. The only thing that opens for me when a popup is blocked is the popup toolbar, which does not contain such a feature. Please advise!

The popup UI in the "Permissions" section should appear after a popup was blocked (until you reload the site). If you can't reproduce this, can you please attach some STR (what site is this happening on) and maybe a screencast/screenshot? Thanks!
