270800 - Impossible to allow (only for once) a popup to open if there is only one of them on the page

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 264716

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Manu Cornet]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-2)

This "bug" concerns the "warning bar" that appears when Firefox blocks a popup
window. If the web page has several popups (for example
http://www.popuptest.com/popuptest1.html), Firefox lets you choose to display
any of the blocked windows if you wish, when clicking on the warning bar (last
few items of the menu, "display ...". If there is only one of them, this doesn't
happen : the only way you can get to see the popup, even only once, is by adding
permanently the domain in the "authorized" list.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load www.lemonde.fr
2. Load www.popuptest.com/popuptest1.html
3. Click on the "popup warning bar" that appears at the top, on either page.
4. Notice that it is possible to see (only once) any of the popups in the second
website, not to see the single popup (only once) in the first website.

Actual Results:  
No "display foo.html" option in the menu.

Expected Results:  
Add an option to the appearing menu : "display foo.html", even if "foo.html" is
the only available popup.

www.lemonde.fr seems to have changed its popup (seems also that the previously
described behavior depends on the popup...) and the bug cannot be reproduced on
this web page. I suggest the following, for now :

www.overgame.com

Windows too.
I don't think I have the ability to physically confirm this bug, but I can
confirm it :)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

This is still a bug in "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050928 Firefox/1.6a1" although the UI for showing the popup
options is more accessible (which was probably another bug).

Strangely there is a separator at the bottom of the dropdown menu. When there
are more than one popups the popups that can be shown appear under this
separator. My guess is that the code is there, but there is a small bug that
prevents the popup to be shown in the list.

So in the multiple popup situation you have:

Allow popups for www.popuptest.com
Edit Popup Blocker Options... (why all the capitals?)
Don't show this message when popups are blocked
---------- (separator) ---------------------------
Show 'http://www.popuptest.com/popup1.html'
Show 'http://www.popuptest.com/popup2.html'
Show 'http://www.popuptest.com/popup3.html'
Show 'http://www.popuptest.com/popup4.html'
Show 'http://www.popuptest.com/popup5.html'
Show 'http://www.popuptest.com/popup6.html'

But when there is only one popup only this is shown:
Allow popups for www.overgame.com
Edit Popup Blocker Options... (why all the capitals?)
Don't show this message when popups are blocked
---------- (separator) ---------------------------

I think the fix would probably be along the lines of changing a 'if popupcount >
1 then' into 'if popupcount >= 1 then'.... but that's just a hunch.

BTW. OS->all?
