292468 - pop-up blocker gets around mozilla firefox......sometimes even disables cursor!!!!

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 282931

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[gayea_auld]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

Please go to wordreference.com.  I used this website as an example...but many
websites use the same popups.  The popup is usually
"205.180.85.40=media.fastclick.com".  There are many others, however.  You need
to update your POPUP BLOCKER, because some programmer at mediaclick.com has
figured out how to circumfvent your software.  My real concern is that even
though I am running a router, a very strong firewall, and up-to-date virus
barrier, and firefox, the website is able to disable my CURSOR with the popup. 
That is a REAL security breach.


I have put this IP address on the stop list of my firewall.  These people have
NO right to disable my ability to close up the popup box with disabling the my
cursor.
Thank you.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just go to the website I have listed as an example
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
same thing....pop up and disabled cursor

Expected Results:  
?  I know firefox is not a firewall.  But still, it should not let the popup or
the cursor takeover by the website happen
