From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a) Gecko/20020611 BuildID: 2002061104 Even with the JavaScript setting "allow pages to open unrequested windows" turned off, pop-up ads still appear from www.nytimes.com. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Mozilla. 2. In Preferences, under Advanced/Scripts & Plugins, "Navigator" should be checked, "Open unrequested windows" should not be checked. I don't think any other settings matter, but I have the rest of the "allow webpages to" items checked. 3. Go to http://www.nytimes.com/pages/opinion Actual Results: A pop-up ad should appear. Expected Results: No pop-up ad should have been created. I believe this will work for any page at the site other than the main index.html. It only happens once per browsing session, so there's probably a temporary cookie involved.

Verified Duplicate. Matt, thank you for your report. We do have a pref setting to stop this, but it has not yet been given a GUI interface. You have been cc'ed on the bug to fix that (bug 132031).
