By using tricky Javascript, this company defeated Firebird's built-in Pop-up
blocker.  

The script below creates a link to an external file containing javascript which
pops up a window:

<script type="text/javascript" language="Javascript1.1">
<!--
var tz_rnd = Math.random();
var tz_redirector_00001470 =

Related/dupe of bug 187255? See testcase in that bug.

Shouldn't bugs like this be kept confidential? I don't think bugzilla should be
an easy place for spammers to find code that defeats Mozilla privacy/security
features.

The popup technology on scotsman.com is provided by Tangozebra
(http://www.tangozebra.com), their "Toast Popup" product seems responsible for
this issue.

The popup is opened by Flash, this is a dup of Bug 176079. The new pref
"privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins" successfully blocks this popup.
