Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Shade]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When visiting boardhost sites (http://members2.boardhost.com/grushack/ as the
example of the site I'm going on) I am receiving popups when I have popups fully
disabled. All popups have been advertising, even though I have run Adaware to
check for Ad ware, and have rechecked my popup options.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Browser
2. Open Link in Favorites
3. Notice pop up showing up on menu bar

Actual Results:  
I received a popup asking me to download a file.

Expected Results:  
Blocked the popup from opening on my system

I'm using no themes, using basic Mozilla.

Please don't report bugs from old release build unless you tested this with a
recent build.

-> wfm (with a 1 day old win2k3 cvs Mozilla)

Dup of Bug 282382 "javascript pop up / under bypasses protection with doc.write"

Note that Firefox claims to have blocked a pop-up (perhaps it did), but it
let this pop-under through. See Bug 282382 Comment 1 .
