Popup blocker is deselected automatically

I am having a minor problem with Firefox and was hoping that
someone
out there could help. Whenever I create a new session of FF
and open
the options for the session, my "popup blocker"
checkbox is
automatically deselected. (Obviously, I would like to it to
be
checked.) The only change that I have made to the browser
recently in
adding an ActiveX plugin. (Don't yell at me just yet,
please! I
deparately needed it for a project.) After the project was
complete, I
removed the dll from its respective directory. Would this
plugin have
caused a problem with the browser's interface?

Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.

(BTW, I have tried reinstalling FF, but this did not help.)

Thanks,

Shane

Here's the answer to my own question just in case anyone
else
experiences this problem.

From: http://k
b.mozillazine.org/Popups_not_blocked

"The McAfee Privacy Service software is reported to
disable your
Mozilla browser's popup blocker, even if that software is
uninstalled
and you recheck the popup blocker option in your Mozilla
browser. This
happens because McAfee's software sets the related
preference
"dom.disable_open_during_load" to
"false" via the user.js file and the
popup blocker is again disabled when you restart the browser
[2]. To
fix this, exit your Mozilla application, open the profile
folder and
find the "user.js" file. Either delete this file
if it contains no
other settings or edit it to remove the preference line
containing
"dom.disable_open_during_load". You should then
be able to recheck the
popup blocker option and the setting will be
retained."
