256200 - popup blocker incorrectly blocks while page is still loading

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 101190

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[zenervation]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040814 Firefox/0.9.0

If you click a link that opens a new window on a page which is still being layed
out, the popup blocker will block it incorrectly. On the example URL, the page
is layed out incorrectly while the page is still loading, and then snaps into
position. (this can be a bit hit-n-miss, you may have to clear the cache and
restart the browser for the slow layout to happen)
- If you click on the 'forums' link while it is still layed out incorrectly, it
is blocked incorrectly. 
- Using the "show 'http://www.thewebsite.com" also breaks - instead of opening
it, it blocks it again, causing that entry to be in the show menu twice.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the example URL
2. While the page is still being layed out (the content area is side-by-side
with the header, instead of below) click on the 'forums' link
3. Click on 'show http://www.simlish.com/forum/' in the popup blocked bar that
appears.
Actual Results:  
- The new window was blocked incorrectly, and the popup blocked bar appeared.
- When following step 3, instead of opening the window, it is blocked again.


Expected Results:  
The window should open properly in the first place, and even if it is not, the
"show http://www.thewebsite.com" should always work.

This can be hard to reproduce. One way I've found to reproduce it is to create a
new profile to visit the site.
