When blocking a pop-up, Firefox doesn't displays an information bar to say to accept it
I use Vista 32 home. When I need to see a pop up like for a form I can't the information bar never comes up giving me options I just have to go in and turn it off or add it to the list to always accept them. I would like to see the info bar that gives you the options

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
- Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked".
You can look at these prefs on the about:config page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
I went through every icon and none were a pop up blocker. I am using google tool bar also and that seems to be all the icons. I clicked on the links above and they showed error messages. What should the pop up blocker icon look like? Under tools and options all you can do is yes or no for the pop up blocker. Under the wrench thing from google you can pick buttons but none are a pop up blocker
