I didn’t know you had reported this bug. It sounds very similar to this [Browser] Pop-up window aren't opened

Unfortunately, I haven’t found a public website to test yet.

Just visit mmnews.de - on this page i get this browser popup pretty much all the time.

It’s possible that another setting deletes the preference again.

What do you see under Settings => Permissions => PopUps => Exceptions?

“You have no exceptions” is displayed there.
