139318 - Don't open unrequested javascript windows not working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 126224

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Rick Jackson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)

BuildID:    2002042209

  I have in Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Scripts & Windows the checkbox for
allow webpages to: open unrequested windows currently UNCHECKED.  However, I am
seeing a window pop-up when I go to a particular link on weather.com.  This
wasn't happening before.  I was able to prevent these annoying windows with your
feature to not allow web pages to open unrequested windows.  I have included the
steps to reproduce below.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to www.weather.com
2.  At the upper right there is a link to "My Weather"
3.  Click on that link


Actual Results:  The page loads, and then a pop-up to Trip.com shows up as well

Expected Results:    Mozilla should prevent this window from popping up when I
don't have the "Allow webpages to open unrequested windows" option unchecked.

The site uses a different method to open the popup.
Bug 126224 has already been fixed allowing you to block this method, however
there's no Interface for it. see bug 132031 for that.
For now, you can add
user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000);
To your prefs.js file in your profile to enable this manually.
