Yes, but it's important to note that you can create a list of sites
for which you specifically *allow* popups. I found it useful when
I needed stuff to pop up new windows (some of my classes require
it for their Web homework. Gah).
Documentation on this can be found at

Is very nifty; just doesn't have a GUI yet.
