User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/419.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3 Build Identifier: Camino 1.5.1 Multi-language After launch of Camino, default home page--google--opens. I enter appleinsider in URL and page opens. After clicking on a link within appleinsider page, a pop-up appears in a new window but behind the main window. This seemed to occur on appleinsider and also only after clicking on a link within appleinsider. I know it has happened on other sites, but I typically only visit appleinsider. I discovered from (from my inability to leave this alone) that if you clear all of the cookies and then quit and relaunch Camino, it's duplicatable. I have Firefox 2.0.0.7 set to clear cache and cookies upon quit so I manually did this in Camino as well, although, Firefox never has had this problem. Cookies seems to be the trigger regardless of the pop-up block settings. Ironically, leaving the cookies before quitting and then relaunching seemed to prevent the pop-up from coming back; however, I don't want hundreds or even thousands of useless advertising cookies on my machine. I wish I knew more than how to write command line programs or I'd jump into it myself. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Camino 2. Remove all cookies 3. Clear cahce (may just be optional) 4. Go directly to URL bar & type: ' appleinsiderl.com ' (omitting single quotation marks, of course) 5. The pop-up warning appears. Do what ever you want--ignore or allow--because it won't matter 6. Click on a story link and then check behind main window to see if pop-up appeared. 7. Check list of cookies and you will see that there are over 50 cookies from different places. Is this because the 'only allow cookies from sites I visit' is broken? 8. Clear cookies 9. Quit Camino 10. Repeat. Actual Results: The pop-ups appear without fail. Pop-up appears with or without selecting 'always block' feature. Expected Results: pop-up appears behind main window. Prevent all cookies from being accepted unless I specifically navigate to that site's home page. Additoinal informtion is that over 50 cookies were accepted just from visiting ' appleinsider.com .' I have selected the option to 'block all cookies unless I navigate to that page.' Emptying the cookies before each re-launch of Camino seems to allow the pop-up to come back regardless of the 'block' setting. Even though I empty the cache, I don't think it has any bearing on the pop-up behavior. Moreover, of these cookes that appear, most of them explicitly say 'click or advertising.' I have not verified this on other sites that push pop-ups so this may exist beyond just AppleInsider.com .

I launched Camino with a fresh profile and navigated directly to appleinsider.com. I got the popup blocker notification and clicked "never allow". I then clicked a story without getting any popups. Clicking on any other stories likewise failed to create any popups.

If I make a fresh profile and then set "Accept cookies only from sites I visit" and then follow the same steps, I don't even get a popup blocked notification to give me the option of allowing any popups, nor do I get any popups at all. I also don't really see any appreciable difference in the number of cookies that are set. Admittedly, I see a lot of what I would consider to be "third-party" cookies in there, but Core's definition of "third-party" cookies doesn't always match with, you know, common sense. The popup portion of this bug is almost certainly something wrong with your settings; make sure you aren't actually *allowing* popups (in the Pop-Up Exceptions List) from any of the several sites that AppleInsider sets cookies from.

This report is conflating two different behaviors: - The fact that the site chooses whether or not to attempt to open a popup based on the presence of a cookie is in absolutely no way a Camino bug; it something the site itself is doing. - The fact that clicking on a link triggers a popup is something that I'm positive is filed in core (and may have been WONTFIXed there); the assumption is generally that a popup based on click interaction are legitimate, and are therefore not blocked.
