The script below creates a link to an external file containing javascript which pops up a window: <script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript1.1"> <!-- var tz_rnd = Math.random(); var tz_redirector_00001470 = "http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/click%3Bh=v2|3062|2|0|%2a|j%3B6535741%3B0-0%3B0%3B7076263%3B255-468|60%3B3760849|3778745|1%3B%3B%3f"; var tz_vc_00001470 = "http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/imp;v1;j;6535741;0-0;0;7076263;0|0;3760849|3778745|1;;cs=n%3f"; var tz_force_00001470=-1; var tz_bit1 = "<scr";var tz_bit2 = "</"; var tz_tag = tz_bit1 + 'ipt language="javascript1.1" type="text/javascript" '; tz_tag += 'src="http://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/aj/s/1470/1366;' + tz_rnd + '?ad_mediabrokers.js'; tz_tag += '">' + tz_bit2 + 'script>'; document.write(tz_tag); //--> </script><script src="politics_files/1366.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.1"></script> <noscript> <img src='http://ad.uk.tangozebra.com/a/at/s_noscript/1470/1366;?' border='0' width='1' height='1'></noscript><script src="politics_files/c_mediabrokers_2252.js" type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.1"></script><noscript><a href="http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/jump/scotsman.tmuk/news;tile=1;pos=top;sz=468x60;dcopt=ist;ord=20031127233651" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.uk.doubleclick.net/ad/scotsman.tmuk/news;tile=1;pos=top;sz=468x60;dcopt=ist;ord=20031127233651" width="468" height="60" alt="Advertisement" border="0"></a></noscript></td> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Related/dupe of bug 187255? See testcase in that bug.
Shouldn't bugs like this be kept confidential? I don't think bugzilla should be an easy place for spammers to find code that defeats Mozilla privacy/security features. Prog.
Product: Core → Mozilla Application Suite
The popup technology on scotsman.com is provided by Tangozebra (http://www.tangozebra.com), their "Toast Popup" product seems responsible for this issue.
Summary: Pop-up blocker defeated in specific cases → Popup blocker defeated by Tangozebra Toast Popup
The popup is opened by Flash, this is a dup of Bug 176079. The new pref "privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins" successfully blocks this popup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 176079 ***
