250836 - Pop-up blocker kills requested links while page loads

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 101190

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Carson True]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040608 Firefox/0.8.0+

This seems to be a problem more easily identified on a slow connection, such as
dial-up. While a page loads, if a user decides to click on a link that produced
another window while the page is still loading, it will stop it from doing so,
essentially forcing the user to wait until the page finishes loading before the
user can click

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to slow-loading page with links to point to external windows (either a
huge page or use a slow connection)
2. Click on said link

Actual Results:  
The pop-up blocker blocked the resulting window

Expected Results:  
The pop-up blocker should have allowed the user to view the requested window

Can be worked-around by opening it in a new tab (right click > open link in new
tab), or by any other method of redirection
