An entirely different implementation of a popup sneaking through the blocker can be found by visiting www.barbie.com (which redirects to barbie.everythinggirl.com) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Visit www.burn4free.org 2. Visit www.barbie.com 3. Actual Results: two different style popups launched. The one at burn4free appears to be a handcrafted one; barbie.com's appears to be a more traditional one. Expected Results: blocked the popups

The first one is *not* a popup. The easy way to tell the difference is just to close the tab/window: if it's still there, it was a popup, if it's gone, it was a web page fouling it's own nest. If they instead chose to start with an image ad with a link to click to get to the actual content, it would be no different, and I know plenty of sites that use the exact same script as that to do actual content, so "movable divs with an X in the upper right" can never just be prohibited (though there are bugs around to stop the more aggressively flashing and jumping ones). The second one, with Flash triggering a popup, is actually fixed, but only via a hidden pref that you have to create. With privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins set to 2, Barbie has to beg permission to open a popup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 258487 ***
