"Certain events, such as clicking or pressing a key, can spawn pop-ups regardless of if the pop-up blocker is on. This is so that Firefox doesn't block pop-ups that websites need to work."

So, your pop-up blocker is no pop-up blocker at all. Or am I supposed to follow links without clicking? Did you not care to fix this idea because ABP does the real blocking anyway? Basically you say, a website defines the "need" for a pop-up by something that can be clicked. So, which website on earth does *not want me to click something?

Honestly, for about 10 years I thought that you, Mozilla, were simply "allowing" the pop-ups because of a bug, an exploit, flash, or something you can't do anything about. Now I read by chance that you simply decided to do so on purpose. It's crazy. :) The chance that this blocker would work is zero.

Some web sites do use pop-ups. Some for displaying data, password input, and so on. It's the bad pop-ups we want to be rid of. Ads, ad traps . . . .

I see, it's not that easy that I tried to make it look like.

But I still don't understand how clicking and key strokes are the way to distinguish the data, password input etc from ads. I mean, I really get a lot of ad pop-ups that are on-click, and I can't remember when I have seen a site creating a useful pop-up. Actually, I see no point that the pop-up blocker exists, when all that it blocks is - for me - nothing, .. assuming that non-interaction pop-ups have virtually died due to exactly this type of blocker. Ok.

Anyway, there is ABP. I don't really have a point. But calling the thing in FF "block pop-up windows" and it does not really anything useful... meh.
