Confirming popup opening. I am using a yesterday based CVS build (My own one,
MozJF), with Shockwave 10.0

My user-agent :

We need a testcase.

A popup on this page:

http://members.fortunecity.com/legalstuff/lont_spammer.html

also seems to get past the fact I have selected NO to unrequested popups.

This doesn't happen often (I've only seen one other site that managed to sneak a
popup in), but I'm worried that people will learn these tricks, and we'll be
bombarded with ads again.

This is at least very similar to bug 176079
Here's an example with Flash that pops up mozilla.org after 10 seconds:
http://rdmsoft.com/bugs/mozflashpopup.html

The browser can't really tell whether the user wanted Flash (or other Plugin) to
do this or not, so it would probably be better to require a whitelist entry
before letting these popups appear.

A popup has started sneaking through on visiting www.pgatour.com and selecting
"Leaderboard" or "Tournament Update".  The new window is titled "SpecificPOP

Here's a good example;

Disable your cookies for this site (put in within the black list) and you'll get
the pop-up every time you visit the page. The browser should be blocking this.

adoutput.com provides a script that gets through the blocker in 0.8

Alright, damnit. This is not the bug for reporting whatever problem with popup
windows you've noticed. It's a very specific bug about a very specific script on
a very specific site. Every one of the last five comments belongs in bug 253831,
not this one. I appreciate y'all's vigilance, but you're just confusing what
could have been a very clear bug.
