Firefox/Firebird doesn't block pop-ups well enough
anphanax:
EDIT:
I would also like to note this forum's code has a problem. Apparently if I use M-OUS-EOV-ER (without the hypens) as a parameter in a HTML tag like below it refuses to allow me to post (NOTE: I used < and > when posting this instead of the symbols so what the hell... that is some lazy or ignorant programming as it filters out crap that ISN'T even an HTML tag to begin with). That's why parts of this post below look kind of butchered.
I was kind of disappointed when I figured this out, but apparently On-Mo-use-Move, On-Mo-use-Enter and OnM-ou-seL-eave aren't checked for pop-up launching code.
e.g.:
<BODY onM-ou-se-Over="window.open('test.html','_blank','resizable=no,width=2400,height=4000');">
e.g. (this one's more fun)
<SCRIPT>
<!--
function annoy()
{
while(1) { window.open('test.html','_blank','resizable=no,width=2400,height=4000');}
}
-->
</SCRIPT>
<BODY onMo--useO-ver="annoy();" on-M-ous--eEnter="annoy();"
on--Mous-eLe-ave="annoy();">

When I tried the above with Microsoft Internet Exploder, I had to CTRL+ALT+DEL because I couldn't get them stop opening. (Yes, I tried using the CLOSE GROUP command, and it worked with Firefox, but not with internet exploder).

Well Firefox is pretty damn good, but its nowhere perfect (especially since its not even a final product.) But file a bug report. You'll be doin everyone a favor.

I'm not sure how to do that. I didn't install any bug tracking software with mine and I guess that's needed to report issues with (bugzilla?). That's partially the reason why I posted that here was I wasn't sure what do with what I encountered.

I visited that page with Mozilla for Windows, the nightly build from 2-29-04, and it crashed. No pop-up windows came up - infact, nothing came up. In theory, what should have happened?

Edit: kinda sucks that : ) with no space automagically becomes a smiley.
