Using Firefox ( Firefox/1.0.3)
and browsing the internet I am getting popups. My web features are set to block
popup windows. I never used to get popups when using Firefox.  Lately I have
been getting them every time I use Firefox(every day). I mostly browse news
sites. Examples CNN,Fox,Drudge Report,Worldnetdaily. I get popups on all of
these sites.
Here are the addresses of two popups I got just today.

I just thought you would like to know about this as I am sure you do not want
popups to get through your controls. Thanks.

You should list your site here:

Are you using a clean profile? I cannot see any popup from any of the sites you
suggest (cnn, fox, etc). The popup blocker works OK. 

Using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414
Firefox/1.0.3)

Try with a clean profile.

Please add any sites which open popups to bug 253831, but only after testing
them using a Firefox nightly build with a clean profile. Thanks!
