285610 - popup window appeared despite blocking being enabled

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 282931

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Ross Combs]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

While reading this page a pop-up window appeared.  I had several browser windows
open but this is the only window with a site I don't regularly read in it, so I
assume it was the cause (I do not normally see pop-up ads).

I tried reloading the page and scrolling around but no additional windows
appeared.

Settings:

Privacy & Security -> Popup Windows:
 [*] Block unrequested popup windows
 [ ] Play a sound
 [*] Display an icon in the Navigator status bar
Advanced -> Scripts & Plug-ins:
 Enable JavaScript for:
 [*] Navigator
 [ ] Mail & Newsgroups
 Allow scripts to:
 [ ] Move or resize existing windows
 [ ] Raise or lower windows
 [ ] Hide the status bar
 [*] Change status bar text
 [ ] Change images
 [ ] Disable or replace context menus

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Normal page load with no popup when trying to reproduce.

Expected Results:  
It worked as expected on second and third attempts.  Initial attempt resulted in
a pop-up.

Not sure what code caused the pop-up.  Here are all of the script sections for
ads on the page:

Suggestion: an option to disable execution of Javascript from other domains
(like the image blocking code) would be really nice since it is apparently
difficult to stop Javascript from opening unrequested windows.
