1502085 - Firefox 63 requires two clicks when "onclick" pop-up/pop-under windows are blocked

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Earl R. Thurston]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.13; rv:63.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/63.0

Steps to reproduce:

To test this properly, you need to have pop-up blocking turned on and visit a site that opens pop-up/pop-under windows bound to the "onclick" event of other navigation links (usually for advertising).


Actual results:

When one clicks the link, the "pop-up blocked" alert appears in the address bar, but nothing else happens. It takes a second click of the same link to open the intended page. (Two clicks.)


Expected results:

In prior versions, the pop-up/pop-under would be blocked and the link would open the intended page immediately. (One click.)

Hi Earl,

Thanks for reporting this issue. Do you have a specific website you were visiting to where we can test this behavior?

I don't understand this issue. popup is blocked, and then what do you expect to happen?


Anyhow, need some example page.
