This isn't evangelism, do you expect them to listen to us when we ask "Please
don't try to circumvent our popup blocker" ? It would be helpful if you had a
list of sites which use their tech and which successfully created popups.

moving to suite/general.

I don't specialize in the subject but it seems clear to me that you have a
malware infestation on your computer. You have my condolences, but I don't know
why you would file such a thing as a Firefox bug. Your best bet is a web search
for urllogic. Find a site where volunteers will help you get your computer
cleaned up.

In no way should these be taken as a recommendation of the sites mentioned, but
a few minutes' searching turned up these forum threads as examples of what
appear to be successful removals of urllogic infestations. I give specific
threads. You may want to follow their advice or start a new thread of your own
on one of those forums.

Bugzilla had really, really better not turn into a freaking malware help desk.
