On Win32 RC2 build: If the "Open Unrequested Windows" box is unchecked in the preferences | advanced | scripts, Mozilla successfully blocks unrequested popups (such as at weather.com). However, it also blocks *requested* popups, such as when viewing tv listings at tv.netscape.com. Click on a TV show to see the summary popup. Expected result: Summary pops up in its own box Actual Result: Nothing happens Workaround: By re-enabling web pages to open unrequested windows in prefs, the popups at this website work successfully. However, unwanted popups also come back.

This may be a dupe of Bug 136195.

I'd agree with that *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136195 ***

I don't see any setTimeouts at tvguide.netscape.com, so I don't think this is a dup of bug 136195. tvguide.netscape.com works fine for me.

You are right, Jesse. This is not a dupe of Bug 136195. However, this WFM Win 98 Build 2002051208. So it is either to be resolved wfm, or (if we change the summary) set to invalid wontfix, and here's why: In Bug 136195 Comment 13, Boris tells us that "We currently detect a window.open that ... Comes before the page has finished loading ... and block them." I was ready to agree that this bug exists as reported, until I realized that the reason it was failing for me was that I was trying to load the pop-ups before the page had finished loading. So if the behavior that Boris describes is not satisfactory, perhaps the summary for this bug should be changed to "pop-up windows should not be blocked when page is still loading", but it will still get trashed (probably marked wontfix, because that is evidently important behavior for stopping unrequested popups). So unless someone can tell us that this effect is observable even after the page has finished loading, I think this bug is invalid/wontfix. And one more note: for some reason, after I click once to load a pop-up window while the page is still loading, I am still unable to click again to load a different pop-up window. The same is true if I manually stop the page from loading. _This_ behavior might be a bug -- namely, something like "clicking pop-up link while page is loading or manually stopping page load prevents subsequent pop-up links from loading" -- but would be filed separately. But either way, I am willing to bet that the reporter is experiencing the effect I have described. It was only a matter of time before someone observed this issue, I suppose. Jesse, can you pls. verify my claims or tell me I'm crazy? thanks.

David: you're correct that pages can't open windows in response to a click if you click while the page is still loading. That's a bug (bug 101190). Bug 101190 also mentions the problem that if you stop a page from loading in certain ways, the page can't open links in response to a click. Adhitya, does this bug only happen for you while the page is loading? If so, please mark it as a dup of bug 101190.

Alright, Netscape TV Guide apparently has changed its service provider from TV Guide.com to AOL TV Listings. So the scenario is a tad different, but here is a more precise method to the problem: While the listings are loading (or some image on the page is), click a TV show to display the popup. THe popup does not appear (as mentioned in this and 136195). However, even after the page finishes loading, clicking a show still does not show a popup. Oddly enough though, if you wait for the entire page to load, images and all, and then click on a tv show, the popup does successfully appear.

Most of what you describe is bug 101190: you have to wait for the entire page to load before clicking a javascript:window.open() link, or Mozilla's pop-up blocking will always think the page is trying to open an unrequested window. Clicking a javascript: link stops the page from loading (bug 144587). You might not notice that because netscape tv listings now use frames. Only the bottom frame stops loading, and the throbber continues to animate beccause the top frame is still loading. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101190 ***
