Improved Popup Blocker Available for Testing (MozillaZine)

The Mozilla Foundation is testing a patch for Mozilla Firefox that improves popup blocking. "This isn't the first time that the popup blocker has been modified in response to the evil tricks of webmasters. When the feature first debuted, it simply blocked all popups triggered by page loads, page unloads and timeouts. Since then, it has been enhanced to block popups triggered by a wide variety of events and also limit the number of simultaneous popups allowed."
