do you happen to know a way to fix that without having to remove the additional <p> tags?

I played around with this a bit more and came up with a hack that allows pop-up footnotes with multiple paragraphs in KFX format. The trick it to put a hidden border around the paragraphs that make up the footnote. This causes the KFX converter to group them together into a single block that will display in the footnote pop-up. Here is an example:
Code:
<p>This footnote example uses the aside element with the epub:type attribute and bi-directional
hyperlinks.<sup><a id="source" href="#ft-1-1" epub:type="noteref">1</a></sup></p>
...
<aside epub:type="footnote" style="border-style: hidden">
<p id="ft-1-1"><a epub:type="noteref" href="#source">1.</a> This is the footnote text.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph in the same footnote.</p>
</aside>
I tested it using current software. There is no guarantee that it will work in books converted by older or newer versions of the Kindle Previewer or displayed on older or newer versions of the KFX renderer. This works somewhat by chance so it would not be a great idea to rely on it in a published book.
