260366 - Popup blocker fails to block popups when closing a tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 259117

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ayman Hourieh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10

When there is more than one tab open, closing a tab with a page that opens a
popup using onunload event in body, results in a popup window, and the popup
blocker fails to block the popup.

I couldn't reproduce it with only one tab, I also couldn't reproduce it on 0.9.3.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the demo here: http://www.aymanh.com/popupdemo/ .
2. Middle-click on the link in the demo to open a new tab in the background.
3. Close the demo's tab.

Actual Results:  
A new window with Google.com appears.

Expected Results:  
Nothing should appear.

As I said, you need more than one tab open, and I couldn't reproduce it with 0.9.3.
