From: H.

I tried on my Mozilla 1.7.5 in Debian Sarge and it opened like 10 or so windows which I had to close manually. Anyone else seen anything like this? ->HS -- Please remove the underscores ( the '_' symbols) from my email address to obtain the correct one. Apologies, but the fudging is to remove spam.

I'm using firefox and I couldn't get to a console to kill it without the console window losing focus. As I'm running on an XDMCP screen I had to switch to a console, log in, ssh to the server and kill it there. By the time I got back, my XDMCP session was locked up. That really sucked. It was worse under IE6 (crossover office emulated). 1st it started a little animation using opening windows, then it displayed a most disturbing image.

As I'm running on an <SNIP> "Additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page." Hah! Not a single extra window was opened. So much for "PopupByPasser Mod". But then, I don't have Flash installed, and really don't feel like I need all those flashy things flying across my screen, feeding me with "rich ads media", or opening hundreds of windowses. When I want to watch cartoons, I turn the TV on. Firefox here is being used to read content on the web, not to watch it flashing/flying around.
