When I first viewed this page, a pop-up ad appeared, even though they are
disabled.  I've seen the NYTimes work around this before.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:


They won't let you browse their site w/o accepting cookies from them.  I think
they don't try to pop up the same ad more than once, so I was unable to make it
happen again.  I saw it yesterday too, though, so maybe once a day...
See bug 126224 for the gory details and bug 132031 for the UI for the pref we
implemented to counteract this problem.
