Hmmmnnn I should have thought of that. I forgot to look for the icon, Of
course that might be because I NEVER look for icons which are to me
mostly meaningless. If I could get Mozilla to display a text message on
the status bar ("[Popup blocked]" would be ideal) instead. Or to play a
distinctive sound when it puts the icon there. I might learn to look
for it. Still I remember liking the concept when I first read about it,
and had I looked for it, and if it had been there, I might have guessed
it's purpose.
By the way can you tell me if clicking on that icon (assuming it was
there) would have given me the choice to un-block the site for the
current browser session only. Or would I have had to edit the preferences
to re-block popups for the site next time?
