For Popups its a statusbar icon and a browser message, for installs it a browser message, for images its a context menu item, and there is no notification for cookies. When bug 240070 lands there will be several other types of content that could be blocked. I suggest a common way of notifying the user of blocked content should be developed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I think both the statusbar icon and browser message are a good way to notify the user. Using this combination may be an issue though if multiple content is blocked at the same time for a site. Also it would be good if the user could allow the blocked content for one time, the message should be closable, and the should be keyboard access to it.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01". This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code. While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug (given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more reproduction information if you have it. If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved. Thank you for your help in this matter.

I agree that there should be a consistent method for notification of blocked content, but that method should be the statusbar and icon now used for blocked popups. Mozilla interrupts the user with needless modal dialogs too often already.
