I can confirm this. If it has blocking 1.4 flag then it should not be UNCONFIRMED.

wfm with win2k and a 1 day old CVS (popup is supressed)

BTW: If you confirm a bug you must search for dupes and you must try to find the
reason. A bug in browser general will never fixed (!)

This is a broken UI holdover from the days when we supported blacklists. Heh.
somebody forgot to remove this. By the way the "Reject popup windows from this
site" contextual menu item makes sense only for blacklists, and can only be seen
if popup blocking is disabled. (For the curious, blacklists are implemented as
exceptions to a policy in which popups are generally allowed; that is, popup
blocking is "disabled.")

Since we no longer support blacklists, this menu item takes a couple of steps
and then trips up on some dead code. The thing to do is remove the contextual
menu item. For those who hanker for a return of blacklists, see bug 202394 and
possibly (bug 198846 / bug 176564) but primarily see bug 195924, which is where
they were removed.

I'm closing this one "won't fix" and opening bug 211995 to remove the menu item.
