The popup blocker has been rewritten since 1.7.1; the current one doesn't have
this issue.

Thanks for the good news.

May I ask from which version onwards this problem would have been fixed?

It's fixed in Firefox 1.0, and will be fixed in Mozilla 1.8a5 as well as the
next non-security 1.7 release (probably 1.7.5).
