Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Would very much like to see an option to block ALL popup windows, including
those requiring "positive user action".  Might be more friendly to give it
sub-options to either open the popu-window content in a new tab or in the same
(originating) tab.

Reproducible: Always

Brilliant - thanks for the pointer - as usual the developers are way ahead of me
:-)  Now all it needs is more publicity, ne?

There's a GUI for it (in Firefox 1.5 beta 1).
