On this site, I get a big fat ugly popup window although I have disallowed
javascript window opening (in fact everything but changing images).

Reproducible: Always

[df]

this seems to happen ONLY when macromedia FLASH plugin is installed. the message
that a popup window has been blocked still appears, but the popup opens anyway.

without any plugins installed, the popup does not open.

Does anyone still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2 or 3 builds?
If not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME.
Thanks.
