Details

Sometimes when I look up a word in Merriam-Webster's online dictionary, a popup
managed to show up.  These popups don't show up all the time, luckily, but if
other websites had learnt of it, Mozilla's anti-popup is compromised.

I haven't read the source code so I have no idea how it bypasses it nor could I
give a test-case.
I put this bug in Security component, but please change it if necessary.
This is WFM in 1.5beta1.  There is a tracking bug for all sites that bypass the
popup blocker - bug 253831.
