9 tests, 2 failed with Windows XP 1.0. 

Though the failed ones were when the user clicked on a link. Not sure if those
should be blocked.

With a brand-new profile, and thus the default options, Firefox passes 100% of
the tests at auditmypc.com (the ones where you click, creating a popup is
*success*, if a browser doesn't then it failed that test), and all but one at
popupcheck.com, the one which isn't a popup, just some HTML that looks like one.

I don't know what you've done to your copy of Firefox, particularly if you are
reproducing a bug which occurs with lots of tabs open, as opposed to having lots
of popups open and then close themselves, but I'd sure recommend that you undo
it: it sounds like you've broken it.
