I find popup windows happening w/SeaMonkey 1.1.7 despite having set preferences to block them. One of the most pernicious is NetFlix.
With the url above, it may have popped up simply from clicking on http://www.quotationspage.com/ from a Google Search.
I've also experienced it from some other site - and am beginning to think a connection has been made via Google itself.
Needs to be stopped

I don't see any popup on that page.

I can imagine you might not, Stefan. I'm not sure it was a function of that page itself, or perhaps of Google sending some kind of intermittent NetFlix popup on its own. Do know I've received that specific popup a number of times. A couple others, too, but far less frequently.
My concern was with having set "block" preferences w/SeaMonkey yet having them come through regardless of; (a) the preference setting and (b) the source.

I see the NetFlix popunder occasionally also, but so after-the-fact that I'm never sure what site they've come from.

Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v1.1.9 ?
Can you reproduce with SeaMonkey v2.0a1pre ?
Would there be a way to get a referrer or something after it happens ?
