Details

I like Mozilla's ability to block unrequested pop-up windows. Unfortunately, I've seen pages that are not successfully blocked by mozilla. I've copied one of them at the URL in the url field above; the core of the problem seems to be based on the way the javascript uses document.write('<scr'+'ipt to generate the page's html. Mozilla's popup detector seems not to notice the scripts when they are defined this way.
pop-up opens because of <img onload>, not '<scr'+'ipt>' <html> <body> <img src="http://mozilla.org/images/mozilla-banner.gif" onload="window.open('http://www.yahoo.com');return false;" /> </body> </html> reporter: please change bug summary to reflect this.
Summary: pop-up blocking doesn't block document.write('<scr'+'ipt ') → pop-up blocking doesn't block <img onload>
We already have a mechanism in place to prevent this - there's just no GUI for it so far. Adding this pref to your user.js file (create if necessary) should fix the problem: user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000); *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 126224 ***
