Using the toggle in Preferences -> Advanced -> Scripts & Windows, I have
selected the option to disallow web pages from opening unrequested popups. For
the most part, this works. However, the NY Times website still pops up an ad
window sometimes. After looking at the source of the web page, I think it is
because the popup is spawned by javascript in the onLoad attribute of an image
like so:
<img src="http://graphics7.nytimes.com/ads/usga/blank.gif"
onLoad="window.open('http://ad.doubleclick.net/adi/N2870.ny/B961809;sz=720x300;ord=2002.05.19.19.08.51','MyWindow','toolbar=no,directories=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=720,height=300,
top=0');window.focus();" BORDER=0">
I'm guessing that Mozilla blocks window.open() from the <BODY> onLoad attribute,
but not from the <img> onLoad handler and that is why this is succeeding.

This is the source to an instance of the NY Times homepage that spawns a popup
ad window in spite of my setting to disallow unrequested popups.

Hmmm... it does look like a duplicate. Although the ad I was referring to is a
popup, I think the only difference there is in an invocation to window.focus()
in the latter case. I'll leave it to someone else to determine if these are
exactly the same.

Browser, not engine. Reassigning to Preferences component as with
other bugs of this type. This is either a duplicate of
bug 126224
"NY Times web sites creates pop-up windows even if that feature is disabled"
or bug 140638
"nytimes pop under ads return in build 2002042608"
Ketan: what happens if you try the blocking method explained at the
beginning of bug 140638?
> In Mozilla 0.9.9, you could add this entry to user.js and kill

> // Kill NYTIMES popunder ads
> user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000);
Does that stop the ads for you? Also, please include the build ID
of Mozilla that you are using; that should be in any bug report; thanks -

user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000);
That preference setting seems to do the trick. Should that be one of the things
set by the "allow unrequested windows" preference toggle? I don't know what
that preference above means.
Oops, I thought bugzilla would pick up the version automatically. I'm using
Mozilla 1.0 RC2 on Windows 2000 SP2.

See bug 126224 for a discussion of this, and bug 132031,
"Need UI for new dom.disable_open_click_delay pref"
You might want to cc yourself on the latter one -
