From that website Firefox suddenly opened a pop-up.
Interesting enough I've blocked all pop-up's except from
"webmail.suomi.net" (note that there's no 'http://' or 'www.'
infront of the adress). I've also got ForecastFox 0.5.9 installed.
I just thought of giving you a notice on this one.

The pop-up said:

Another one that I came up today. This ad offered me Smiley
Central.

The pop-up pictured some "new" smileys.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Power on
2. Open page (http://b3.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=intel0202)
3. There you have it

Actual Results:  
Didn't open pop-up's.

Expected Results:  
They seem to load once and then they stop. The next day I turn computer on and
try to hassle, they load nice and clean. After closing ad's, they don't come
back until a new re-start.
See Bug 253831 "sites with pop-ups that get past our pop-up blocker"
I can't get to saddoboxing from here -- it won't load. But the second example
given, b3.boards2go.com, is bug 282931. See especially bug 282931 comment 6.
