238647 - Display popup-blocked icon *before* showing explanation about it

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 196474

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jim Avera]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

The first time Firefox blocks a pop-up, it shows (er... pops up) a
dialog box explaining about the icon you can click to enable pop-ups
for the site if necessary.

The trouble is, THERE IS NO SUCH ICON ANYWHERE IN THE UI at the time
this message is displayed!

Only after you dismiss the message does the icon appear in the status
bar.  This is confusing, and makes the user think they are stupid because
the message says there is this icon but the user can't find it.

It would be better to display the icon *before* showing the user the 
explanation about it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start firefox with a new empty profile, and view www.gigabyte.com.tw
   (which currently tries to show a pop-up).

   One way to do this is to start a second firefox process from a terminal;
   this will show the profiles dialog even if you initially have only one
   profile.  Then, create a new "Testprofile" and start with it.
Actual Results:  
The pop-up explanation dialog appears, but the icon it talks about
does not exist (yet).

Expected Results:  
Create the icon (and make it live) before showing the explanation message.
