Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: APIs, enhancement)

Description

[Sheela Ravindran]

MfcEmbed build id: 2002-10-16-1.0.2
PPEmbed prompts the user to allow or deny pop-ups when they visit websites. This
has not been implemented in MfcEmbed.  

Steps: 
Launch MfcEmbed
For example: Go to netscape home page(www.netscape.com)

Actual: No dialog appears to prevent pop-ups 
Expected:  Dialog appears with "Allow" and "Deny All" buttons

MfcEmbed is just an sample designed to exercise the embedding API. As popup
blocking is just a pref setting, is there a legitimate reason to implement this?

Hi Adam...PPEmbed implements pop-up blocking and QA wants it as an RFE for
MfcEmbed. 

Frankly, most MfcEmbed related bugs are a low priority to me now - unless they
have something to do with an embedding API usage/implementation. 

My current priority is integrating Mozilla 1.2 with Sprocket, so i'm futuring
this one...thanks

Just for reference, the pref "dom.disable_open_during_load" toggles popup
loading behaviour.

Mass marking all MFCEmbed bugs as wontfix, since bug 377410 removed it. If this bug was erroneously included (or say equally applies to winEmbed), please reopen & accept my apologies.
