More complex "Reject Popup Windows" and not reject

Hi everybody,

I think the rejecting Popup windows, which are opened via JavaScript is a very useful feature and helps on many sites with many popups, I betcha u guys know what kinda sites that are.
But sometimes I WANT to open a popup windows, because it is implented into the site and I need it for getting further. e.g. some sites require to be started in a javascript window. Now it is very hard to go into the preferences and add all those sites, to let them do their popups, since I dont go to them very often.

I think a feature (for example in the PrefBar the extension I mean) would be VERY useful for disabling the Popup windows via a little Menu or a Shortcut by keyboard. I saw a screenshot of the new Mozilla and saw something in the JavaScript options: "Reject unwanted Popoups only" or so it was. Don't know what it does but it sounds good

I think it is hard to distinguish if u want a popup window (so if u clicked on a link to get to it) or if its run by the site...

Anyhow I hope somebody sees this thread and tells me what he thinks about it.

greets
voy

On any site that uses popups, if you keep your Status Bar viewable at the bottom of your screen, you will see an exclamation point in a circle. This indicates that Phoenix just blocked some popups. Double-click that icon, and a list of sites from which popups were blocked will appear. You can then choose to accept pop-ups from a specific site (whitelisting). I think this will cover what you want.

didnt know that thank you! I still like the button idea but this works out too.

I'd like it if you could, for example, right click on the exclamation icon to pop the popup up this one time, but not whitelist it.
