Please let me know if this is a but or something I did not setup.

Also, where is the link for "Feature Requests"? I wish to ask dev team to add something in Firefox, if accepted.

So,
trying to understand, when you browse the www.repubblica.it site, does it or does it not open a small windows (pop-up)? like what I added above?

Thanks,

No, I didn't see any popups, only blocked popup notifications.
Currently I don't get those either.

No popups for me, or notification of blocked popups.

First question: are you still getting popups from that site, are they now blocked, or does nothing happen (re: popups) at all?
If you're still getting popups, can you go to Edit -> Preferences, go to the "Content" tab, and make sure that "Block Popup Windows" is ticked? Can you then also check the whitelist for popup blocking by clicking the "Allowed Sites" button, and looking for "repubblica.it" or "www.repubblica.it"?

Hi,

I had somehow the whitelist for popup blocking in "Allowed Sites"
button with "www.repubblica.it" allow.

This was the issue. My mistake.

Thank you for this tip.
It is now solved.

Thanks,
Spiro
