It works fine when I put it on a web site and load it into seamonkey, after telling the popup blocker to allow that web site's address. However, when I copied the file to my desktop and loaded it from there, there was no way to unblock the popups. Clicking the popup explosion icon, or selecting "Tools -> Popup Manager -> Allow Popups From This Site" both brought up the "Allowed Sites - Popups" dialog with nothing in the web site address, and no way for me to tell it to allow popups from file:/// URLs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create the file "test.html" on your windows desktop (see attached file). 2. Enable the pop-up blocker in seamonkey. 3. Double-click the file on the desktop to launch it in the browser, or open it through "File -> Open File...". 4. Try to get the popup to work. Actual Results: I was unable to find any way to make the popup window appear. Expected Results: There should be a way to allow popups from local files.

Can confirm this. This also affects latest Firefox (3.0.6).

WFM In 1.1.x right click the popup icon. In 2.x click preferences on the alert bar. (The URL should begin with http:// to work properly.)

Doh, the whole point of this bug report is that it does NOT work for file:/// (local) URLS. Please read the bug title again. The consequences are that i'm not able to open popoup windows from html files stored on my local machine.

I mean the URL in the test case: > window.open("www.mozilla.org"); -- doesn't work > window.open("http://www.mozilla.org"); -- works

(In reply to comment #5) > I mean the URL in the test case: > > > window.open("www.mozilla.org"); -- doesn't work > > window.open("http://www.mozilla.org"); -- works That's irrelevant. The bug is about file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/johndoe/My%20Documents/test.html -- not about anything on the Mozilla site. To run the test case, you should first download it locally.

As I mentioned in comment 3, right clicking the Exclamation mark icon will give the option to open, in this case, file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/johndoe/My%20Documents/www.mozilla.org or /home/johndoe/www.mozilla.org or similar. The bug is that a suitable exception cannot be added.
