Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 126224

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect)

Description

[Maciek S]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

Folks, when someone gets to work and instead of closing the same problem fixes
it. It has been around since the beginning of Mozilla.

Your option: "Open urequested windows" does not work prooperly.

I told you that once or twice in the past, but apparently nobody was anxious
enough to do what I said. Go to New York Times web site (www.nytimes.com) create
test account and check what happens when you surf the web site with "open
urequested windows" disabled (checked!). You will still get popping up some add
window (probably again annoying Orbitz advertisment). 

You could not to replicate problem? Yes, because you did not have account with
New York Times and so you were able to surf that web site only in limited way.
Follow steps I described so you will see what I am talking about. To upset you
even more it looks like you did not do good job on Javascript part and that's
how people are still able to write code so ads can show up in separate windows.


Sincerely,
Maciek S.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create New York Times account at www.nytimes.com
2. surf the articles and come back to main page of New York Times
3. It will not show up if NYTimes does not have current offer of some ****.

Actual Results:  
"Open urequested windows" does not work. Those windows still popup even when the
option is turned on.

Expected Results:  
I belive Mozilla was advertised as a product that can disable popping up
"urequested windows"

Yes modules. Do you expect regular user to have detailed knowledge of software.
Well even if I am a developer I still do not care much about architecture of
third party product that I have or want to use.

Do you know what technology enginee and transmission in your car is built in? Do
you know which module is responsible for faulty displaying in your TV set?

So don't push people that do you a favor to guess what component is involved.

Think user terms for a while - not programmer terms. You will get a chance to
advance to next stage in your professional experience or perhaps become a
professional instead of programmer-hobbyst.

reporter, please do not complain a bug not being fixed in a timely
manner. There are thousands of open bugs and not everyone of them
will get attention.

Daniel Wang,

Yes, there are thousand, but these one comes with every edition of Mozilla. Does
bell ring anywhere?

Be more professional and do not complain about thousands of reported bugs. You
sound more like arrogant kid than professional software developer.

I want to see it resolved. If not again I will try to make fame out of your team
in public forums if you plan on dragging such things from version number 1.0. So
get to work and make sure that it is fixed.
