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.
