I'm having this problem too, the blocker works fine for about ten minutes and then it blocks all allowed popups

URLs:
www.hsbc.co.uk
www.firstdirect.com
www.britishairways.com
www.flybmi.com
www.t-mobile.co.uk

and loads more

This sounds basically the same as bug 260264 to me.

I could not test with the above websites as there were no popups for the same. I have checked with www.away.com and www.rediffmail.com, but could not reproduce the bug.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
