Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 157629

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Edward Rudd]

When going to www.linuxgames.com and having the "open unrequested windows"
option unchecked in the advances/scripts and windows section in the
configuration,  a popup advertisement still pops up when going to
linuxgames.com, but only the first time I goto the site in a browser session...

Bug 126224 has to do with <img onload> exploits, AFAIK: "NY Times web sites 
creates pop-up windows even if that feature is disabled (using img onload)"

I have not been able to find an <img onload> doing that at the 
current site. There may be one, and I just haven't found it, 
or the popup exploit at this site may be something new and different.
Therefore, reopening this bug until we can determine the cause.

At any rate, this bug is a direct duplicate of bug 157629, "Linux games
is able to popup an ad even though preferences are set not to allow that"
