Question --- I have a couple of Photo Album pages on my web site that
when you click on a thumbnail, uses a javascript window.open call to
diplay a larger version of the photo in a pop-up window. Will this
Mozila preference setting disable these too? It really a nice way to
give browsers access to larger photos.
