When you click a thread to read a popup loads behind the main page. Sometimes I've had 10 - 15 load at one time. It seems to only open a popup the first time you use that site each day. I have selected for no popups to be displayed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to : http://b4.boards2go.com/boards/board.cgi?user=YrekaDirtTrack
2.Click " 26 Ft Enclosed for sale "
3.

Actual Results:  
Close popup and you won't get anymore until the next day

Expected Results:  
No popup windows should have opened.

I don't think the popup is installing anything, but it is bypassing the popup blocker portion in the "Privacy & Security" part of the Mozilla program. I checked the "security" button because I don't know if anything could be installed by bypassing the popup blocker part of the program and that could potentially be a security problem.

The adserver here is fastclick.com, a known-abuser of onclick handlers.
