Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 101190

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lee Trager]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040426 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040426 Firefox/0.8

The built in popup blocker blocks every popup. Sometimes I am at sites where
when I click a link it should open a new window but the popup blocker blocks
this. It would be great if the popup block would let popups go if I click on them.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto a site with links to popups
2. click on a link that opens a popup
3. the new popup window you want to see wont show up

Actual Results:  
The popup window I wanted to see didnt show up.

Expected Results:  
It should have let me see the popup window.

Firefox currently blocks all popups while a page is being loaded, once the page
has finished loading it only blocks unrequested popups, see Bug 101190, does
that sound like the issue you are seeing?

Ya thats it sorry for the repost. Hopefully this will be fixed by Firefox 0.9 or
Mozilla 1.7.

Probably unlikely, but we can only hope :-)
