144857 - Bugzilla Helper: popup doesn't open

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core :: Security: CAPS, defect)

Description

[Vincent Lefevre]

Popup blocking doesn't work very well. My prefs.js contains:

user_pref("capability.policy.allowpopups.Window.open", "sameOrigin");
user_pref("capability.policy.allowpopups.sites", "http://www.mozilla.org
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org");
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open", "noAccess");

but the popup on Bugzilla Helper doesn't open.

This problem occurs on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; en-US; rv:1.0.0+)
Gecko/20020510, but also occurred on Mozilla 2002040108 under PC/Linux. This
used to work with older versions.

Vincent,
   Do you have this line in your prefs?
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "allowpopups");

This is a requirement for per-site policies to work. Also, do you know about the
"smart" popup blocker? It's
user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);

If adding the "policynames" line doesn't fix the problem, please let me know here.

Thanks, the policynames line fixes the problem (I've just seen that it is needed
as of Mozilla 0.9.9). I also have the disable_open_during_load line (which was
added recently IIRC).

Good to hear that. OK, resolving bug.
