This opens many new windows (hundreds), very fast. Ocurrs both with Javascript
turned on and off and Java turned on and off. I turned images off because the
images are HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. Popup window blocking is enabled with no
exceptions, yet it still happens.
Warning! This opens windows so fast I couldn't close them without having Task
Manager at-the-ready before I started.
This seems to be a security problem...

Flash evades our popup blocker. In the meanwhile you might find the FlashBlock
extension useful (turns all flash into click to play).
