Critical: Missing "Pop-ups and Redirects" Option in Firefox Android Site Settings for All Sites

Hello Firefox Support Team, I am experiencing a critical issue with the Firefox Android app where the control to manage pop-up permissions is entirely absent from the main settings menu. This makes it impossible to use any website that relies on pop-ups for critical functions (such as payment processing, SSO login, or document generation).

1. Problem Description The essential option to allow or block pop-ups is missing globally. For instance, when trying to access a government portal (https://sjmsnew.rajasthan.gov.in), a dialog appears stating the pop-up blocker is active, but there is no mechanism within the browser to disable it.

2. Current Device & App Details App: Mozilla Firefox for Android (146.0 (Build #2016129543), 13567a870654c915cd135b87cd1fe4e02fa8fa55 GV: 146.0-20251201213807 AS: 146.0.2 Latest version as of 2025-12-15) Operating System: Android (Android 14)

3. Technical Issue/Configuration The problem is related to the missing permissions toggle: Missing Toggle: In the main Settings \rightarrow Site settings page, the "Pop-ups and redirects" permission toggle is completely missing from the permissions list. Manual Exceptions Disabled: The "Exceptions" list is empty, and there is no visible option (like an 'Add' or '+' button) to manually add a domain to allow pop-ups. Tracking Protection Status: Enhanced Tracking Protection is currently set to the Standard setting.

4. Request This seems to be a UI bug or a configuration oversight in the current Android build, making the browser unusable for many common tasks. I urgently need guidance on either: a) How to restore the "Pop-ups and redirects" permission toggle in the Site Settings. b) An alternative configuration setting (e.g., using about:config) to allow pop-ups globally until a fix is released. Thank you for your prompt assistance.
