Allow popup? I wish to change my answer. How?
Allow popups from xyz.com? (I should have said 'yes', but I said 'no.') How do I change my answer?
Thanks,

Did you look at "Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Permissions" to remove this permission ?
All permissions in the native popup blocker have been disabled (allow all popups) in my attempt to get a particular website chat window to open. It is the commercial version of Microsoft Office, and one support option is a chat window that displays in a popup. Monday, 4-24-2023 I started getting these warnings: "We're unable to complete your request... "Microsoft account is experiencing technical problems. Please try again later." And "later" never came.
I was finally able to get a hold of them and they had me try Chrome and Edge, and neither generated the error message. Chrome and Edge are plain vanilla versions for me.
I was hoping I had missed something. I also had the uBlock Origin extension. I disabled that for the entire browser as well. I still had the issue.
I just tested it, and it's still broken. Thanks,

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.

Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
