163037 - unrequested windows opening in nytimes.com

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 126224

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ken Firestone]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523
BuildID:    2002052309

I have my browser set to not allow the page to open unrequested windows, however
the NY Times pages seem to be able to open new windows at will for doubleclick
based ads.

Two other problems:

When a page contains other components, such as graphics, that also have to
download, the browser seems to "lock" until all of them download. If one of
these components stalls during the download the browser locks, and the only
thing to do is go to a terminal window and   issue a kill to the browsers
process ids. Sometimes I have to manually clean up afterwards by removing the
lock file.

Second, one site I go to, nbm.org seems to load many orders of magnitude slower
in Mozilla than in other browsers such as opera, or ie on a windoze or mac platform.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.This problem seems to depend on the code randomly inserted in the page.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Sometimes when going to the nytimes site, I have a window pop
over the page I am trying to view, sometimes not.

Expected Results:  NEVER allow the second page to open.
