146570 - Javascript "Open unrequested windows" setting no workee

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 126224

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Stuart Lamble]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)
Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051005

I have turned off the "Open unrequested windows" setting in the JavaScript
preferences window. Upon accessing the For Better or Worse web site, I am
presented with a pop-up, taking about half of the screen.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure JavaScript is enabled.
2. Make sure "Open unrequested windows" is unchecked.
3. Open http://www.fborfw.com/strip_fix/index.html in Mozilla.
Wait about 10 seconds for rendering, etc. to complete. By that stage, the pop up
should have appeared.

Actual Results:  A pop-up window appeared on my desktop.

Expected Results:  No pop up should have appeared. :)

I have JavaScript enabled only for Navigator, not mail or news. The *checked*
JavaScript options are "Change images", "Create or change cookies", and "Read
cookies". All other JavaScript options ("Open unrequested windows", "Open a link
in a new window", "Move or resize existing windows", "Raise or lower windows",
and "Change status bar text") are unchecked.

This happens in the Classic Mac OS build as well, 2002052305.

WorksForMe using FizzillaCFM/2002052305 (RC3). No pop-up appears.

Just downloaded and installed RC3 for Mac OS X (from
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.0rc3/mozilla-macosX-100rc3.smi.bin).
Still seeing the problem (and yes, I double checked my preferences).

Build ID 2002052305.

I am seeing a similar problem on Mozilla 1.0rc2 (Linux build), accessing
http://www.ucomics.com/calvinandhobbes/
A popup window opens despite my "Open Unrequested Windows" setting being unset.
I suspect the ad popup code used in the last Javascript code block. Note that
the site I've seen the problem on and the reported problem site are both under
the ucomics.com brand, and using the same code for displaying ads.

Attachment: Javascript referred to as src of script block in offending page

Attachment: Javascript used in script block of dynamically generated iframe

The code in attachment 85583 [details] creates an iframe dynamically, and in that iframe,
creates a script block which runs this code to create the popup.

The location
http://ads.ucomics.com/RealMedia/ads/adstream_jx.ads/www.ucomics.com/calvinandhobbes/viewch.cfm@Position1
is dynamically generated, and the request for a dynamic iframe only happened in
4 out of 18 tests for me, which could explain the WFM reports - so reload a few
times to see if the problem can be reproduced.

Interesting that you say it happens randomly. Every single time I've been to
that site, I've been confronted with the pop up, without fail. Oh, well --
thanks, Gary, for the attachments (I hadn't even thought of the need... *blush*)

From the bottom of the last attachment:
<img src="http://m.doubleclick.net/viewad/817-gray.gif" border=0 width=1
height=1 onload="popunder();return false;"></body></html>

This is a dup of bug 126224, "NY Times web sites creates pop-up windows even if
that feature is disabled (using img onload)".
