Popup is blocked on my 5 hours old homemade trunk build - a pre-beta firefox 1.5
version. (Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b4)
Gecko/20050805 Firefox/1.0+)

So this site seems to bypass popups in firefox 1.0.x.

You can either :

- live with it
- wait and use firefox 1.5 beta / 1.5 official when it will be released.

But this is not a firefox bug ;)

-> INVALID ?
