Hi, In reading the comments for bug 292346 (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29346) there seems to be a way to block popup windows right now. But I have followed the posting there but have no luck in preventing the sample site (http://www.wpi.edu/~dpotter/infinite.html)from popping up infinite windows. I am using the latest daily mozilla build from the Dec28 2000. The relevant parts from the bug comments are pasted below. Has anyone been able to block popups? The sample site I have been using is http://www.wpi.edu/~dpotter/infinite.html Any help would be greatly appreciated. regards ------- Additional Comments From Mitchell Stoltz 2000-10-11 11:38 ------- Jake, You can block popups right now by editing your prefs file, see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html ------- Additional Comments From Martin B�hr 2000-10-20 03:24 ------- have you tried it? on M18 i couldn't get http://www.wpi.edu/~dpotter/infinite.html to stop popping up windows with the descriptions given on http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html i tried these: pref("capability.principal.default.window.open", "noAccess"); pref("capability.policy.strict.sites","http://www.wpi.edu"); pref("capability.principal.window.open", "noAccess"); user_pref("capability.principal.default.window.open", "noAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.strict.sites","http://www.wpi.edu"); user_pref("capability.principal.window.open", "noAccess"); ------- Additional Comments From Mitchell Stoltz 2000-10-20 11:52 ------- Sorry, the instructions on that page are slightly wrong. All pref lines should start with capability.policy, not capability.principal. I will fix this soon. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
