Do you realize that some popups are permitted (those that specify a specific width/height)? That's necessary for lots of websites, if those would be blocked, there would be an outrage. Unfortunately, some bads ones will be passed too (and some ads profit from that).

Nobody ever said that ALL popups should be blocked, without exception.

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later in safe mode or a fresh profile? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

Also, ensure you update all your plugins (Flash, Reader, java, quicktime, etc) to the latest version available on the vendor's website.

The pop-up is the result of a click and cannot be blocked
