297105 - Popups blocked with "dom.popup_maximum" ignore whitelist

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260264

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[davem]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 

I have a webpage, which legitimately uses popups on a doubleclick handler.

dom.popup_maximum will start blocking popups after 20 have been created (by 
default). 

This is true even if the site is whitelisted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a page with ondoubleclk=window.open(..)
2. Open 20 popups


Actual Results:  
3. From then on, you won't be able to create more, even if you whitelist the 
site, or reload the page.

Expected Results:  
Popups should continue opening as before.

I have repro-ed this in 1.0.2 and 1.0.4

Rewording:

1. Find a page containing a visible element where ondblclick='window.open(..)'. 
For instance <div ondblclick='window.open(..)'>

2. Double click it 20 times. [and see 20 popups. You can close them if you like]

dup of bug 260264?

I'd do it myself, but I noticed that [e-mail] confirmed....

Yes, this is a dupe. Which way it should be duped is up to Ben.

This is a limit imposed in nsGlobalWindow, and therefore doesn't really have any
clue about any whitelists.
