Pop up blocker exception list isn't saving

When I close firefox and open it again the allowed list is empty.
I've marked it as don't notify me when a site tries to redirect and I've turned off add-ons but still when I reopen firefox the list is empty.
I've tried adding to the list manually and then via the drop down allow this site that option that's at the top of the page that's still blocked.
I can find others with problems but they don't lose the list when firefox shuts down.
Any ideas?
THanks

Firefox stores those entries in a database file named permissions.sqlite, along with other site-specific settings, such as cookie permissions.
One possible reason to lose these settings is if Firefox is set to clear them at shutdown. You can check for this in the Options dialog on the Privacy panel:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
If the middle of the dialog says "Firefox will: Remember history" then this should not be an issue.
If it says "Firefox will: Never remember history", change it to "Firefox will: Use custom settings for history". This should display numerous controls on the lower part of the panel, one of which is "Clear history when Firefox closes". If this is turned on, click the Settings button to the right of it and make sure that Site Preferences is '''not''' checked here.
This support article lists other reasons that Firefox settings might get lost between sessions: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Another common culprit is Advanced SystemCare, which like some other utility/security software can roll back unwanted browser settings changes -- but they don't know wanted from unwanted and may just roll them all back.

  • Pop Up blocker exceptions are not saved in the browser for use, the next time the PC reboots. How do you save these exceptions for long term use?

    Pop Up blocker exceptions are not saved in the browser for use, the next time the PC reboots. How do you save these exceptions for long term use?

    In case you are using "Clear history when Firefox closes":
    *do not clear the Site Preferences
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
    Note that clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.
    If you have software like Advanced SystemCare (Surfing Protection feature) that might reset some files to older versions to protect these files against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software.

  • Use Group Policy to add website to Popup Blocker Exception List

    I have downloaded the Firefox.adm Template and have added it to my local security settings for testing. I do not see how to add website(s) to the Popup Blocker Exception List. I have been able to do this for IE and Chrome (using the Chrome Group Policy Template) and need to do the same for Firefox.

    hello MorehouseSteve, firefox doesn't support any group policy settings per default - you might have to contact the developers or support resources of the plugin or extension you're using to get further help on this issue...

  • Firefox updates wipe out pop up blocker exceptions

    I am using Firefox 8. I have three pop up blocker exceptions that I need to download and print from a research site. When Firefox updates, the pop up blocker exceptions are wiped out and have to be reentered. (This does not happen with IE 8.) Is there a software fix or is this a development issue?

    I should also add that site preferences is unchecked in clear recent history.

  • My pop-up blocker exceptions are not saved. Is this because of my use of private browsing?

    Self-explanatory

    Private Browsing shouldn't have nay effect on exceptions and you should still be able to create new exceptions and keep existing exceptions.
    They are however removed if you use Clear Recent History to clear the "Site Preferences" or the file permissions.sqlite is removed by cleanup software.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History
    The file "permissions.sqlite" stores 'allow' and 'block' exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, and extensions (software) installation.

  • Pop-up blocking exception doesn't allow pop-up for banking site

    I have entered an exception web address and selected 'allow', but the pop-up is still not allowed. Internet Explorer has no issue, so I figure it's not my virus protection.
    I do not understand what Firefox is looking for.

    The following article includes information about the pop-up blocker and some troubleshooting steps. Please read that article, I believe it will help you get this issue resolved.

  • Pop-Up Blocker White List?

    Is there a way to allow pop-ups from a list of domains, such as Firefox does?

    The short answer to your question is, "No." With the current version of Safari (5.0) there's still no built-in way to allow some pop-ups on sites that require them. That's one reason why I keep returning to Firefox. You can do that in Firefox.

  • How do I add a website to the popup blocker exception list using a command prompt?

    I have many users with Firefox 2. I need a specific web site to be allowed for popups if their popup blocker is turned on. I need to be able to execute this command in a script which will run from a command prompt when the user logs in.

    cor-el,
    The link you sent gave me all the details I needed for Firefox 2. The hostperm.1 file is a text file. I was able to use the Copy command in a script to combine hostperm.1 file with a text file containing the website I needed.
    Firefox 3 looks like it uses a database for that function, so I think you're right that it's not do-able in that version.
    Thanks!

  • I added exceptions for the pop up blocker but most of the time it still does not allow the pop ups for the sites I listed as exceptions

    the pop up blocker is inconsistent. i added websites to the exceptions list but most of the times when i load firefox it does not allow the exceptions...sometimes it does but i can't find any reason or consistency as to why it sometimes allows them and sometimes doesn't. They are clearly listed on the exceptions option.
    What is wrong?

  • Why isn't the popup blocker exception working for sites I have added? It still asks me to "allow" them.

    Even though I have added sites to the Exceptions in the Popup Blocker preferences, I constantly have to press the Allow button to actually go to the next window. The sites are staying in the Exceptions list and I can get there, but something clearly isn't working properly.

    I have been adding each domain name that pops up that's different from the original website and Firefox is still asking me to "Allow" it. Very frustrating...

  • Safari pop-up EXCEPTION list

    I bet I am not the only on who wants an "exception list" to allow pop-ups. The current solution is "all or nothing". I am aware this is for security reasons but some radio stations for instance when accessed via tunein (which is my preference) require to open in pop-ups.
    Most other browsers have an "allow pop-up exceptio list" ...the current Safari (Maviericks on Feb 12, 2014) does not seem to have it, does it?
    or is there a Mac App that does this?
    Safari - Preferences - Security  - Web content:  enable JavaScript  - Block Pop-up Windows  (I have both unchecked, yet I have to uncheck 'bloc pop-up windows' every time I want to listen to specific radio stations via tunein*)
    This is making me use Chrome or Firefox which allows exceptions ...seems like a simple/common feature to implement for Safari to keep as preferred browser.
    Thanks in advance for detailed replies, since I'm relatively new to Apple.
    * I prefer using TuneIn for radio access (than itunes or the old radio app on Apple TV) since I can classify radio stations in folders and log in to my TuneIn account in TuneIn apps for iOS, Vizio, Roku, etc.  Soap box: the old radio app in itunes (not i-tunes radio) needs major revamping to allow mgmt, reason why may people prefer TuneIn and the reason for this question on allowing pop-up exceptions.

    To get Safari suggestions and concerns directly to Apple, please use this link:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/safari.html
    Apple doesn't read these forums other than to moderate, so the link is the best way to get ideas to Apple's attention.
    PS: I agree with you.

  • Need Syntax definition / explanation for pop-up blocker - apparently wildcards are not required, but this isn't specified.

    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Pop-up%20blocker/discuss/1876
    This question has been asked, but was rejected unanswered.
    The response states that you must add the full url. It would be more useful to state that you need the base url only, which will then take out any subdomains etc.
    http://superuser.com/questions/10760/firefox-popup-blocker-filtering-exceptions
    The article above explains in nicely.
    I"m writing a desktop checklist for 5000 end users of an online homelessness data collection program, and I need to add our site to their exception list.
    I interpreted the instructions to list the URL of every site on the domain. I thought this was unlikely, so kept searching. To the letter, the instructions suggest you enter:<br />
    <br />
    www.mysite.com
    www.mysite.com/help
    www.mysite.com/home
    www.mysite.com/faq
    etc etc
    instead of www.mysite.com
    Thanks!
    Liz

    You can only make an exception for a domain and a sub domain (mysite.com www.mysite.com) and not for subdirectories on a domain (www.mysite.com/help -> www.mysite.com)

  • Adding custom message in exception list of F110 transaction without adding payment block

    Hi All,
    My requirement is to add custom message in exception list of F110 transaction based on certain fields validation without adding payment block .
    I tried using BTE 1820 where I can add my validation but am not able to add the custom message in exception list.
    Thanks,
    Mihika.

    Hi Raymond,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I did checked the document and tried giving the S and I message in my BTE with trace option checked on Additional log screen.
    But Success and information message doesn't showed in Exception List.
    If I set the Error message the Proposal gets cancelled and I can see my error message in log. (We don't want this option as in this option proposal is not getting created)
    If I set the Payment block I can see that logged in exception list. But we don't want to set the payment block but the message should appear in exception list.
    I added the message using simple message statement. Will you please advice if any other way to add the message other than using the MESSAFE statement.
    Thanks,
    Mihika.

  • List of BO executable that need to be put in exception list for the block s

    Hi,
    I am trying to configure the BO server to send automated emails from the server on failure of any report or program.
    I know the BO side configuration details and done it successfully using SMTP  email facility with BO.
    But my McAfee administrator is facing problem with configuring McAfee to allow email to be send from BO server.
    She need the list of BO executable that need to be put in exception list for the block sending email.
    I also tested my BO configuration by stopping McAfee antivirus services and its working fine.
    Thanks
    Ninad

    The easiest way to do this is going to be to go to the Central Configuration Manager (CCM).  For each "server" listed, go to the properties and look at the Command - this will show you the name of the executable for that server.  Each of these needs to be in the exception list.
