Details

Often one doesn't know that a site is going to attempt to popup a
legitimate popup until after the fact.  Sometimes the action taken on
the site to trigger the window isn't replayable, so it would be nice
to have some way to recover the popup window.

In GUI terms, this could be something like a dropdown menu on the
popup blocker icon listing the popups being held.

In implementation terms, we'd need to cache the window attributes
(hyatt mentioned on irc possibly storing it in the DOMPopupBlocked
event).  Popups that talk to the parent page (window.opener
connection) wouldn't be usefully recoverable.
This is a dup of bug 176564.
