when browsing chinese pages, there is no responding when clicking hyperlink by
left mouse key until the page has been full loaded. By the way, "open link in a
new window" will work. But if the link is a javascript, I have to wait until
whole page has been downloaded.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open news.sina.com.cn
2.click any link.
3.

Actual Results:  
there is no responding when clicking hyperlink by left mouse key until whole
page has been full loaded.

Expected Results:  
get responding when click link at any time during page is loading.

My PC is AMD 64 3000+, VIA KT8000 chipset, Gentoo Linux 2.6.9-r1 x86_64,
Xorg 6.8.1, Gnome 2.6.2. Installed Mozilla by using compiling sources. Chinese
font is zysong ttf. Mozilla 1.7.3.

This worksforme with a current trunk build.  This was fixed in the popup blocker
rewrite, which should be appearing in 1.7.4 or 1.7.5.
