[Dan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Visit website http://www.drudgereport.com/ There will be an ad on top of the
page below that will be a large font text link news headline clicking on the
news headline will go to the news site and on about 90% of the time also
activate a popup ad there are other current event news story links below the
headline usually in 3 columes any one of these links on about 90% of the time
will also activate a popup window at the same time that link is activated. I
have observed this begining to happen on some google search result links now also.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://www.drudgereport.com/
2.click on current event news links
3.click back to http://www.drudgereport.com/ repeat until popup ads appear

Actual Results:  
popup ads will bypass firefox blocking about 90% of the time

Expected Results:  
annoying popups appear even though firefox popup blocking is active

I have started seeing this problem on other unspecified websites in recent days
this problem should be addressed before it spreads further. This problem was
seen in both Mac OS X & Windows XP versions of Firefox Version 1.0

I don't see a need to have this report in addition to bug 265186.
