The burn4free web site displays a pop-up-like advertisement that appears to use
only DHTML.  It's no a real window, though it does have an XP-like titlebar.

Not sure where this type of bug goes, but I figure it does need to be addressed.

Reproducible: Always

It's not a pop-up at all, but a DIV that is being made to look like one. That
would be quite difficult to block, because it's not really different from the
content itself. Maybe bug 242237 is a solution ?
