170980 - Mozilla should notify the user when a popup is blocked

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 148689

(Core :: Disability Access APIs, enhancement)

Description

[James "Dexter" Akula]

Many pages that don't work right in Mozilla/NS are actually not working because
popups are blocked.  Examples include soundblaster.com, nintendo.com and others.
 In fact, when popups are enabled, these sites work fine again.  I think Mozilla
should notify the user (maybe by putting a message in the load-progress bar
after the page is finished loading) that popups were blocked on any page visited
where they were.  This lets people know that the page might work better if
popups were reenabled temporarily, and at the very least lets people get an idea
about where they are blocking popups.
