Visit http://www.smile.co.uk. The "account login" link in the upper left of the window invokes a JavaScript program to open a new window using a secure connection. Now select Preferences->Advanced->Scripts and Windows->Open Unrequested windows, and de-select this. Repeat the above test. The browser opens a new window, but fails to fetch or render the secure page. Since there was an explicit request, it seems that the (otherwise fantastically useful) block is insufficiently discriminating between a requested and unrequested event. I'm not sure whether to assign this to Javascript, secure handling or what, so I'll start off in Browser General.

Here's what happens. Clicking on "account login" opens a new window by the means of window.open(). That new windows has the name "smile" and the url is "http://www.smile.co.uk/cgi-bin/Launch.cgi?banking". What this new page does is call again window.open with the same name ("smile"). And Mozilla considers this call to window.open an unrequested one.

There is a work around, modifying a little prefs.js. When mozilla is closed, just add : user_pref("dom.disable_open_click_delay", 1000); Found that modification in 0.9.8 or 0.9.9 release notes. Hope I help a little. Works for me 2002050306 - WinXP
