The allow pop-ups function only works for a limited amount of time in the
gaydar.co.uk chat room; specifally on the http://chat.mygaydar.com section.

The chat room is powered by some sort of java application that down loads each
time you enter.

In order to check out profiles you click on a link - profiles pop-up/open in a
new window - its a closed window that does not have a bar to enter new web site
addresses or the standard serch bar 

The allow pop-ups blocker works for a while, but after a realitvely short number
of views the blocker goes on to prevent any new pages being opened.

A message telling you the page has been blocked appears.  The web site is still
listed as allowing web-sites.  The invidual allow this web-site /pop-up has no
effect.

The only option is to log out of Fire Fox alltogher and re-log in to gaydar chat.

- its killing the art of on-line conversation

1.Just keep on clicking on links to profile pages, and eventially the pop-up
blocker will kick in.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Would not allow any new profile pages to open.  The indivual allow this pop-up
functin has no effect.

Expected Results:  
Further page views/pop ups should be allowed.  The allow pop-up over-ride should
kick in

Could you try with a recent nightly build - the pop-up blocker has been
significantly altered.
