Firefox keeps closing pop up tabs by itself

When I use ANZ banking, and I click on "Log on", it opens up a new tab; the weird thing isn't that the tab gets shut down immediately, but only after I input my log in details and click "log in" that the tab gets shut.

Other tabs that get shut include, when I click on a link in my email and it pops up in a new tab. Those get blocked immediately. I've been trying to "unsubscribe" from a few emails already and the pop up always gets blocked. I've already disabled "block pop up" in the settings but it isn't working.

Make sure you are not blocking content.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
