Default gmail & popup blocker

All of a sudden today I get an error message when I try to print a Gmail
email via Firefox on XP. Says

"Grrr! A popup blocker may be preventing the application from opening the
page. If you have a popup blocker, try disabling it to open the window."

I don't recall using a popup blocker. I have no idea what happened. I
didn't purposely change anything. What can I do about this to return to
printing emails?

TIA



Most web browsers come with a built-in pop-up blocker, simply because
there are obnoxious sites which would spam your screen with lots of
pop-up windows.

You could turn off your browser's built-in pop-up blocker, and let the
obnoxious sites spam your screen. A better option is to white-list
Gmail in your browser's built-in pop-up blocker, and leave the
obnoxious sites still blocked.

For Firefox 52.9.0 ESR, the last version of Firefox which runs on XP

Tools Options Content
Under the heading "Pop-ups", click "Exceptions" and add a site
to the white-list.
