293829 - Pop up is allowed when it should have been blocked

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 176079

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jinn K]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050405 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050405 Firefox/1.0.2

The browser allowed a pop up when 'block pop ups' is turned on.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit the site
2. Possbly remove cookies and session info
3.

Actual Results:  
Gambling pop up appeared

Expected Results:  
No pop-up

No other tabs or windows were open.  No other applications that could have
caused the pop up were available.  I'm using the Gentoo emerge of 1.0.2.

Could it be one of the banner ad's on the site that caused the pop up?  I
briefly checked the source of the page and didn't see anything suspicious.

Forgot to mention that firefox did also display the notification at the top that
it had blocked a pop up, even though another pop up had appeared.

That's a popup from a plugin in the page: see the workaround in bug 176079
(Charming: a page about anxiety attacks which throws up a popup screaming
"Warning!")
