This just started happening about 3 days ago. Firefox and Mozilla have always
kept popups away..until now. Suddenly I get a dozen a day. Ads mostly. Has
someone figured out a way to defeat your popup stopper?

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any website. Betgin surfing web.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I get popups. They rest behind what I am looking at. But upon closing my window
there they are. I have to close the popups manually. 

Expected Results:  
Kept popups away.
There is a particular script hosted on fastclick.com that is linked to from many
websites and opens popunder windows as you describe if you haven't locked your
browser down well enough. I feel certain this bug is simply the seventh bug that
I know of reporting that same problem. This is probably a duplicate of bug
282931. But since a useful bug would have mentioned at least one website, I'm
just going to invalidate it.
