Title: Firefox/Firebird doesn't block pop-ups well enough
Post by: anphanax on 1 March 2004, 23:53: EDIT:
I would also like to note this forum's code has a problem. Apparently if I use M-OUS-EOV-ER (without the hypens) as a parameter in a HTML tag like below it refuses to allow me to post (NOTE: I used < and > when posting this instead of the symbols so what the hell... that is some lazy or ignorant programming as it filters out crap that ISN'T even an HTML tag to begin with). That's why parts of this post below look kind of butchered.

I was kind of disappointed when I figured this out, but apparently On-Mo-use-Move, On-Mo-use-Enter and OnM-ou-seL-eave aren't checked for pop-up launching code.

e.g.:
<BODY onM-ou-se-Over="window.open('test.html','_blank','resizable=no,width=2400,height=4000');">

e.g. (this one's more fun)
<SCRIPT>

</SCRIPT>
<BODY onMo--useO-ver="annoy();" on-M-ous--eEnter="annoy();"
on--Mous-eLe-ave="annoy();">

Post by: anphanax on 1 March 2004, 23:57: When I tried the above with Microsoft Internet Exploder, I had to CTRL+ALT+DEL because I couldn't get them stop opening. (Yes, I tried using the CLOSE GROUP command, and it worked with Firefox, but not with internet exploder).

Post by: anphanax on 2 March 2004, 00:05: I'm not sure how to do that. I didn't install any bug tracking software with mine and I guess that's needed to report issues with (bugzilla?). That's partially the reason why I posted that here was I wasn't sure what do with what I encountered.

Post by: worker201 on 2 March 2004, 01:59: I visited that page with Mozilla for Windows, the nightly build from 2-29-04, and it crashed. No pop-up windows came up - infact, nothing came up. In theory, what should have happened?

Mozilla ver:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv : ) Gecko/20040229

Edit: kinda sucks that : ) with no space automagically becomes a smiley.

Post by: preacher on 2 March 2004, 21:47: Well I'm using the original Mozilla, and I haven't seen a pop up in ages. I even went out of my way visiting the sites known for the worst popups (porn sites) still nothing. I hope they fix firefox and it works as good as the Mozilla popup blocker.

I still love the "technology preview" moniker. The damn thing is release quality, and has been released

more of that "beta obsession"
