Please search bugzilla before reporting bugs.

That said, all unrequested popups are blocked by default, there is no need for a
blacklist.

You are missing the point. What if I want them to be whitelisted by default?

Comment 3

[Sébastien Delahaye]

Then uncheck "Block popup windows" in Tools > Options > Web features.

Having both a whitelist and a blacklist is just pointless (and a sure sign of
bloat).

Comment 4

[andrea m]

Maybe I am missing the point. Is it possible that the default behavior is *not*
to block popups *except for a few sites I mention on a whitelist"? I think not.
Maybe it's not a popular request, but it isn't pointless.
