There's already a way to do this manually in your prefs.js (or user.js)
file. Take a look at www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html. I found the
following
// Use configurable security policies to override popups, see
// http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html
// Turn window.open off for particular sites:
user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.sites",
"http://www.annoyingsite1.com http://www.popupsite2.com";);
user_pref("capability.policy.popupsites.windowinternal.open","noAccess");
// Or turn it off everywhere:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.windowinternal.open","noAccess");
// Override popping up new windows on target=anything
user_pref("browser.target_new_blocked", true);
- Pratik.
