Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Eva]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

Everytime I open a Mozilla browser window, a pop up window appears.  The browser
window has the same name every time: Aurora- Part of the ABI Network.  I was
sure Mozilla prevents pop-ups if you select the option in the Tool menu which I
have.  I never had a problem with this until a couple of days ago.  I would like
to resolve this as it as worrysome as annoying.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla browser
2.After several seconds Aurora pop-up window appears.
3.

Actual Results:  
Pop up window keeps appearing.  I checked my settings to make sure pop-up
windows are blocked, and I have no webcsites on the "allowed sites" option.  

Expected Results:  
Not allow any pop-up windows.

Firstly please upgrade your build to at least the latest branch build (1.0.4)
before filling bugs. Idealy you should use a trunk nightly build. The build you
are using uses code from nearly 2 years ago.

Secondly your computer is infected with spyware/adware which is causing the
popups. Please try running a spyware checker.

Thirdly bugzilla is not for end user support questions, please use
forums.mozillazine.org for end user support questions.

-> Invalid because of point 2.
