101963 - Pop-up window controller / manager

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 75371

Pop-up window controller/manager

I don?t know if this has been mentioned by anyone else, but I have an idea on
how to make pop-ups a little more "User Friendly"

The idea is simple. Instead of allowing the browser to either allow or not allow
pop-up, have it so every you enter a page that has pop-ups that it would query
the pop-ups in the sidebar and you could manually allow each pop-up you want.
You could even have it so it only allows a single window pop-up at a time.

In the side bar it would include information such as
Window size
Name of pop-up
Location coming from
And most importantly see if there is a trigger to load more pop-ups

The layout should be something like a directory structure. Starting with the
page you are viewing. And then listing the pop-ups like sub directories.

Not all pop-ups are bad, just 90% of them.
