It would be nice to be able to use wildcards for URLs in the Popup Manager. For
example, instead of needing to add foo.quack.org, bar.quack.org, and
baz.quack.org, one could add *.quack.org and take care of everything.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add a URL with a wildcard in the Popup Manager.
2. Visit a site with popups that should be blocked if wildcards are supported.
Actual Results:  
popups aren't blocked

Expected Results:  
block popups

That is possible. Just add quack.org to the list, and everthing bloew is is
allowed to show a popup.
What doesn't work is adding www.*.com or something like that.
Please mark this as worksforme if that works for you.
