-launch with a new profile
-Go to www.cnn.com

tested results:
No popup blocking dialog appears. The blocked popup icon appears in the status bar.

Expected results:  
Since this is the first time this profile has encountered a site with a popup,
the popup blocking dialog should appear.  After clicking okay to the dialog, the
blocked popup icon should then appear in the status bar.

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040712
Firefox/0.9.1+ (Steffen).
It's not a dialog anymore, it's a notification bar below the tabbar. It reads:
"Firefox prevented this site from opening a popup window. Click here for options..."
On leftclick, a context menu opens, where you can allow popups for that site,
edit popup blocker options, choose to not show this message, and pick a popup
you want to show.

Ben changed this with checkins from 2004-07-11 00:58, 2004-07-11 14:39, and
2004-07-11 18:38.

The smoketest needs to be adjusted.

This is not a blocker - it is in fact operating as-designed. The browser
notification replaces the first time informational dialog, which was intended to
help locate the tiny icon. The first time the user disables the browser
notification, the dialog displays then, telling them where the tiny icon is. You
can adjust your test plans accordingly. This is INVALID.

Okay.  I'll adjust the relative test cases.
