This works when you disable Mozilla's popup-blocker (for this site).

I'm not sure whether this bug should be marked WFM or is a valid bug report
about Mozilla's popup blocker, so I'm leaving the UNCONFIRMED state untouched.

I had this problem but fixed it: I had installed FF v1 then uninstalled and
installed FF v 1.04, mainly because of another problem with acrobat. Ifound that
the popup blocker remained active even though it was unchecked in
Tools/Options/Web Features. I then uninstalled FF 1.04, deleted the Mozilla
folder in Docs & Settings/AppData, in order to be sure that my old default
profile was gone. I then reinstalled FF 1.04 and it works beautifully.

I have a similar problem with 2.0.1.1.  Block popups is unchecked, but popups are blocked and nothing I do changes this. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled the latest release and still popups are blocked. If I check the popup blocker option and then add exceptions to the exception list, popups from those exceptions are still blocked.

WFM on Seamonkey 1.1.9/Linux without whitelisting popups from this site.
