I didn't mean to click allow popups for a website. How do I change it?
When the grey bar showed at the top of the web page I meant to hit "X" but hit "Allow" instead. How do I change it to ban the popups from the site?

You can find the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
- Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Use "Firefox > Options" instead of "Tools > Options" if the menu bar is hidden.

I tried both. Solution #1: Neither the F10 nor the Alt key brought up a Menu Bar. Solution #2: The website in question is not listed as an allowed site. Now what?
Click the Site Identity Button when on that web site, then click "More Information". See:

The page info window will open, click on Permissions, for "Open Pop-up Windows":
- if "Default" is un-checked, click there to place a check-mark next to "Default"
- this action resets to your choice in Options > Content, "Block pop-up windows", whether it is checked or un-checked (checked = Block; un-checked = Allow)
- optionally, if "Default" is un-checked and the option at the right of the line is "Allow", change it to "Block"

You need to update some plug-ins:

Are there any exceptions listed in Tools > Options > Content : Block pop-up windows: Exceptions ?
