152916 - popup windows appear but javascript window.open() disabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 152167

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Crispin Murphy]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020516
BuildID:    20020516

There is an onmouseover field in one of the advertizing images (actually there
are quite a few of them) which call a javascript function (wopen()) which does a
window.open(someannoyingurl) call.

This should not occur because I have window.open turned off in prefereences. 
This occurs with just open unrequested windows unchecked or with both
unrequested windows and open link in new page turned off.

This occurs on both my build (ximian red carpet, red hat 7.1) and a 1.0 build
for win32.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to url above
2.move mouse over ad at top or bottom of screen
3.

Actual Results:  A billion popups.

Expected Results:  Not popping up any windows

Reassigning to Preferences component for parity; this is not JS Engine.
