When opening the URL (http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996409)
in a new tabbed window, the popup is blocked when the page is initially loaded
but not after the tab is closed.  Please note however that this is not a problem
when the URL is opened via a new window and the window is closed.  To reproduce
the problem again, all the cookies from that website should be removed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Delete any cookies from newscientist.com
2. Open the newscientist url in a new tabbed window in Firefox. 
http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99996409
3. Firefox correctly blocks the popup by showing the "Firefox has prevented this
site from opening up a popup window." 
4. Close the tabbed window and the blocked popup appears.  I believe the popup
should not appear at all. 

Actual Results:  
Popup appears.

Expected Results:  
Popup should be blocked.

Using Firefox 1.0PR on Windows 20000.
Component: General → Tabbed Browser
This also happens on
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10

I think the popup could be launched by <body onUnload="">
