(In reply to Vlad Bacia-Mociran [:VladB] from comment #0) > 1. Start Nightly browser and go to http://www.popuptest.com/popuptest1.html > (or any webpage that has popups. Actually, after debugging this a bit, I think this problem is specific to some of the pages on this test site, specifically because they open popups in unload handlers (ie precisely at this point where the page "whites out" - at that point we first clear the icon, and then reshow it because the page triggered another popup!). So, for instance, I can't reproduce with http://www.popuptest.com/popuptest4.html . Is this what you're seeing too?

I suspect we might be OK to just ignore popups that get fired after the main page hides before the next page fires its pageshow. Felipe, how does that sound?

I think this issue is reproducible only on websites that have automatic popups. If the popups are triggered only by mouse over events, then the "Popup blocker" icon is no longer displayed in the URL bar when the next webpage is loaded (comment 1).
