But somehow popups from this site are not blocked. I do not have this site in the popup exceptions line. Popup blocking is of course enabled. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Enable popup blocking in Firefox. 1. Go to http://www.rediff.com 2. Click on any of the news stories right below the Data and Time. Actual Results: Firefox blocks popups till the point you click on a link. After you click on a link, you cannot block any popups. Expected Results: I was expecting Firefox to block popups after clicking on one of the links.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1 I clicked on all nine news links but I didn't see any pop-up, only blocked pop-up messages.
Could you send me what settings you have in Firefox so that I can check. I consistently see this problem.
also wfm with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2pre) Gecko/20070114 BonEcho/2.0.0.2pre, i see only the blocked pop-up message. And in reply to Comment #2, i have only the standard settings in my profile
