In the page http://thesaurus.reference.com/ put text in to the text box, as if
you were looking up a word. When you click on "Search" or hit "Enter" then it
finds words (as it should) but it also brings up a popup, or, more accurately, a
popunder. I'm using XP Pro SP2, on 2 different computers (unfortunately it's
the only OS I use).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://thesaurus.reference.com/
2. Enter a word
3. Click Submit
Actual Results:
I receive a popup
Expected Results:
The software should block the ad.

I can confirm this bug. It is not always reproducible as it depends on what
random ad you get. After a couple of tries I got the chance to copy the
javascript code causing this problem. You can find an example at
http://chasaidthekitty.com/hello/popup2.html (click on 'link' or on 'Submit
Query' and the bug manifests itself)
The way it works is that the offending javascript adds to the onclick events of
all of the links and adds to the onsubmit events of all the forms.
This is probably related to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212163
but this bug was marked as WONTFIX so...

Popups from the site:
http://www.computermail.net/
are not blocked either.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Mozilla Firefox should block this popup, but does not. I'm using MS Win XP Home
with SP2 on an AMD K6 Athlon machine.

onClick and onSubmit are allowed events, right. If you want to change this, edit
with about:config the pref dom.popup_allowed_events.
