Thanks for the info below. I read those before and could not find the
answer to my situation. I don't know if it's by design and I'm not
understanding the concept or it's not working like it should.

I will go to a site, and when I click on a link, I hear a beep, that tells
me a popup was blocked. But the information bar did not show up. Why? It
was a popup add, how I know, is I clicked on that link again but this time
with the CTRL key pressed (override), and bingo, a popup window showed up.

As mentioned below, the settings are all set at default. Medium and show
information bar.
