This is happening to me as well, but i'm running Debian linux. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041207 Firefox/1.0 (Debian package 1.0-5)
Because of the pref dom.popup_maximum (default is 20) which should prevent DOS attacks through unlimited popups. See other bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 260264 ***
