Details

Problem is specific to the java plug-in. Problem is: 1) go to pogo.com, select chess (must have username/password) 2) select a room, and java will start and you'll see a bunch of rooms 3) select the play button on one of the rooms expected result is a new java window opens up with the chess board. actual result: no new window.

Reporter, do you have open unrequested windows option enabled? (prefs->advanced->scripts&windows, first item in the list). If so, try to clear checkbox and try again.
removing myself from cc:
This didn't work because I had the pop-up window pref turned off. Turning on that bit makes the second java window pop-up work.

Reopenning as a usability issue.... This is a real user level problem. If "unrequested windows" are blocked especially by default like on Phoenix the behavior appears a hard failure to the user. I don't know who should be tracking the unexpected behaviors of popup blocking. It might have CHimera impact as well (?)

saari --- I am seeing the same behavior with CHimera but I don't see where I can turn "popup" windows back on. (any thoughts)
Chimera doesn't have the popup re-enable UI in yet, soon.
Ok I will open up another bug for Chimera.

Tested using Mozilla 10_29_08_trunk build. In Preferences, I selected Advanced/Scripts & Plugins and unchecked 'Open unrequested windows'. Went to www.pogo.com and tried to play chess (I have java 1.4.1 installed). I was able to play with popup blocking. Marking bug worksforme.

Testing on Mozilla 11_01_08_trunk build with WinXP. In Preferences, select Advanced/Scripts & Plugins and unchecked 'Open unrequested windows'. In comment #10, I was testing the Chess game as a new player. This time, I went back and entered an EXISTING chess game and then tried to watch, and the game was suppressed. Reopening bug.
