(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[wolfer77]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

When I click on Contact link in gmail I get a message saying "Firefox prevented
the pop-up, click here to change options".  I went to the pop-up options screen
and clicked on allow to give gmail website permission to allow popups, but
nothing was changed, even after I closed and restared firefox.  In addition, I
tried turning off pop-up stopper under Tools, Options, but still got "firefox
prevented pop-up" message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. log into gmail.com.
2. click on "contacts" (message will appear at the top saying Firefox prevented
the pop-up, click here to change options.
3. click on message (pop-up screen appears)
4. click on allow (gmai.google.com appears in allowed sited)
5. click ok
6. try clicking "contact" link again (nothing happens)
7. close and reopen Firefox
8. try logging on and clicking "Contacts" link again (pop-up prevention message
still appears)

Actual Results:  
nothing changed!  Pop-up still prevented

Expected Results:  
the pop-up for the specific site (gmail) should have been allowed

The "contacts" link for gmail works fine in Firefox 0.9.

This probably has something to do with the weird way they've constructed their
pages.
