This pop up blocker is located on the left of the progress bar.

Reporter, this bug report sucks. You have to be much more specific than this, or
QA's will WONTFIX this. 

* What EXACTLY is wrong with the current popup blocker in Phoenix?
* What EXACTLY do you want to change?

Didn'y you see the little screenshot? The bad thing about the Mozilla based pop
up blocker is that if a site has both good and bad pop ups, and I allow the site
to have pop ups for polls,etc, it will bring on the pop up ads. AOL allows me to
choose, because it has a menu and it displays the URL of the pop up.

Manually opening a blocked pop-up is bug 176564.  This might be a dup of 176564,
but I can't tell from the reporter's comments.

Do you have an example of a site where this happens?

On for example http://sports.pl we have both - popups with adverts, and normall
popups which we want to see (for example http://sports.pl/?chat=1 where popup
with chat window appears).
In Mozilla i can block 'http://sports.pl' from showing me popups, and unblock
this on 'http://sports.pl/index.phtml?chat=1' and i have what i want.

As i know the same thing i can do with Pheonix. So i'd mark this bug as WFM.

I don't like unbloccking and blocking. I just go to the menu and go to the pop 
up. That's why I'm suggesting this. I always have it on pop up blocking mode 
and can still easily get pop up windows.
