My husband reports similar problems using Firefox on XP and Vista platforms. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.This seems to be a random occurrence. 2.I have not noted which sites I was visiting - I will keep a list. Expected Results: Blocked the pop-up, or at least allowed me to close it easily.
Popups opened when you actually click a link aren't blocked, because it would cause far too much breakage of legitimate sites.
