159925 - [RFE] Extend capability.policy.allowpopups.sites to particular web pages

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38966

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, enhancement)

Description

[Vincent Lefevre]

Some sites use popups for advertising and on other pages, popups that can be
useful (e.g. identification). So, there should be a more flexible way to block
popups, in particular, capability.policy.allowpopups.sites should be extended to
allow particular web pages to use popups, or any prefix of the URL for instance.

Dup - possibly of bug 38966. A comment there mentions that there may be an xpi
package that does this already:

Comment 2

[Vincent Lefevre]

I disagree concerning the dup. Bug 156885 deals with sites (and the feature is
already here in prefs.js). My RFE concerns particular web pages.
