275130 - Pop-up blocker does not work

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dimitris Sakellariou]

There appears to be a small bug in the pop-up blocker.
When visiting www.f1central.net, I get the message that a pop-up was blocked,
but i still get a separate window with a blank page (maybe adblocker blocked
content).
When I close that window, yet another pops up with a actual ad.

The funny thing is, I haven't been able to replicate this on IE, even if I
disable the pop-up blocker for that site.

Let me know if you need more information.

Used with Adblock, ieview, print, download status bar & Sage.

WFM, no popup. What happens if you disable AdBlock, or create a new profile
without it installed, or start in Safe Mode so it's not running?

no popup here too...  this bug can be safely closed

In future create a new profile by renaming the Mozilla folder. 

"C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\Application Data\Mozilla"

Then check the site to see if the pop-up still comes through. If it does and
others can reproduce this (make a post in the Firefox forums) then file the site
under bug 253831.
