Unable to disable the popup block 'feature' #19

Open synaeus888 opened 3 years ago

synaeus888 commented 3 years ago

The problem begins when I try to click on a link. For example here:

https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?t=12123

I get 'Centaury has prevented this site from opening a pop-up window', so I click on 'preferences' and get a popup where 'allow popups for this site' is grayed out. I click on 'edit pop-up blocker options', click 'allow' and click 'save changes'. I try to click on the link, and I am back where I started...no change.

I go to the three lines icon 'open menu', where I tried clicking preferences>content>unchecking block pop-up windows. It is checked again the next time I go back. I tried changing the integer at dom.popup_allowed_events in about:config. It resets to blank as soon as I exit.

I'm tired of fooling with it. How do I permanently and completely disable the embedded pop-up block in Centaury?

That does not trigger popup blocker. So i test on https://webbrowsertools.com/popup-blocker/

5 triggers blocker, uncheck and no block.

You are getting something I am not getting. Go through the links I originally gave, and see if the result is reproducible. I went to webbrowsertools. I clicked Method #2, and I did indeed get the yellow band popup saying 'Centaury prevented this site from opening...'. As usual, the 'Allow popups for webbrowsertools' is grayed out. As usual, the 'Edit pop-up options' is useless. I click 'allow', click 'save changes', return to webbrowsertools, click Method #2, and I am right back to where I started....a neverending circle.

Look, this is not complicated. I want to completely and permanently disable/nuke the onboard popup blocker embedded in Centaury/PaleMoon. I do not need it. I do not want it, and I am not willing to coexist with it. Either there is a way to eliminate it, or there is not. If it can be stopped via about:config, just tell me the steps to make it happen. If it cannot be stopped, just say so, and I will jettison Centaury.

I doublechecked it all works as intended for me, you may have an error on your side, make clean install.

Disable it globally then, go to the preferences, then content, uncheck 'Block pop-up windows'
