What do you mean with "I have to reset pop-up blocker exceptions every time I open Firefox"?

What shows in the pop-up exception list when you start Firefox?

You can rename (or delete) the permissions.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all permissions stored in this file.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with Surfing Protection, can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes. If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.
