Firefox  1.0PR on Windoze 2000

This is the first version of Firfox/Mozilla for which this bug has occured.

I have a Hushmail (www.hushmail.com) secure/encrypted email account.
Loaded 1.0PR from 0.93 on Monday, 9/13/04. I first uninstalled 0.93 b4 
installing 1.0PR

To compose an email on Hushmail, a javascript app creates a small window
to compose email in. 1.0PR blocks this window and won't let me compose an
email under any circumstances.

When I put the 'compose' url into the 'allow popup' utility, it truncates the
url to its primary part, and not its full entry, e.g.:

enter:   https://mailserver3.hushmail.com/hushmail/index.php.....
stores:  mailserver3.hushmail.com

Even when I completely turn off popup blocking using 
Tools -> Options -> Web Features
and completely restart the browser, clicking on 'compose' from my hushmail
menu still produces a message that this url is blocked.

Is there anyway around this?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open hushmail account.
2.Click 'compose' from menu.
3.Popup blocking message appears and composing is blocked.

Actual Results:  
Can't compose email anymore in hushmail. ;(

Expected Results:  
Clicking compose should allow a window to appear into which
you can compose an email message. This bug has never occurred
for any other version of Firefox/Mozilla I have ever used.

Worksforme with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3)

Please reopen if you still see the problem with a newer nightly build in a new
profile with no extensions: there have been lots of fixes to popup blocking
since 20040913.
