interesting thread on bugzilla about defeating Firefox (and other) popup blocking
 

I'm probably a stupid fuck for posting this thread but what the hell. Read down for some of the most interesting nuggets of info. This is mostly concerned with an exploit wherein the popup is blocked but once you click any link on the site the popups start to flow.

I've also been on sites like Espn that have no problem popping on Firefox (hmmm....perhaps I did click something before the popup occured, tho)

bugzilla thread on firefox popup exploit with code

Popup blocking still works for sites that are behind the curve but more and more are defeating the blocking and making surfing miserable again.

Wow, so simple yet it worked on everything I tried it with... off to edit some pages ;)

interesting

Hmm, very interesting. Thanks for the info :thumbsup

Does anyone would ever stop them? :)

The more I think about this sentence, the more fucked up it looks for me :1orglaugh

Could you correct it? :winkwink:

Yes. A very simple browser that doesn't allow any manipulation of window properties, doesn't allowing opening sites in new tabs or windows - very basic. No javascript, no activex and no flash would be good.

There are just too many doors left open at the end of the day with any decent browser.

Hehe, you understood what that sentence means? :) Please, someone, correct it! :1orglaugh

Theres been popups for firefox for ages now..

good tip :thumbsup

You said it yourself. "Any decent browser". You take all that stuff out of a browser to close the doors and you are left with crap. Might as well be reading a newspaper.
