Block popups in Firefox that you once allowed

Asked this on OcUK but the Windows/Software area is a bit thin on the ground these days...

Arrrrrgh moneysupermarket.com popups :mad:

I was doing some searches on there and sheer number of popups made me think I was missing something on the searches so I clicked the bar and allowed popups. Wrong answer. Would you like this credit card? How about a loan? What about a mortgage? Poke you in the eye?

I followed this guide which said to go to Tools - Options - Content but under the exceptions button moneysupermarket.com is not in there. How do I block it again? In fact there are no 'allows' in the list at all. I have restarted Firefox as well.

May have been a temporary allow, go back to the website

Close Firefox.
If you have the browser set as default, right click the browser icon and select 'Mozilla Firefox Options'.
If not, restart the browser and select menu item: Tools -> Options
Select tab: Content
Click topmost 'Exceptions' button.
Find the site in the list and remove it. As the popup may have actually come from another site you may want to remove all sites.
Click Close, then OK.
If the browser is open, close and restart it.

Works with FF2 and FF3. I think this is what you've done already but best make sure.
