After receiving the alert tonight to download and install 1.06, which I did
download and install last week, the first site I visited presented a popup.  I
checked and the blocker was turned on.

Reproducible: Sometimes



Expected Results:  
should have blocked the popup like it's been doing through the past 3 versions.

The only "popup" I see is a bogus floating iframe and some weird weird behaviour
with JS.  Not a true popup, not a security issue either, just annoying use of
valid HTML and CSS.

Popup blocking has nothing to do with security.

WFM with Mozilla 1.7.11, the popup is blocked.

<script language="javascript">
<!--
var randomnumber=Math.round((10-1) * Math.random()) + 1;
if(randomnumber>=8)
{
 
window.open('http://www.freeware4pc.com','_blank','directories=yes,height=window.height,location=yes,menubar=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,toolbar=yes,width=window.width');
  window.focus();
}
//-->
</script>
