Solvable?

Ugh ;) Is there a way to reproduce that ? Not sure what could be
causing it.

Hmm .. I got it when browsing www.imdb.com, it opened some popup that
opened another popup, ..., and so on. Haven't seen it there before
though, I'll let you know if I see it again.

I thought it might be possible to stop recursive openings of popups or
something like that?

We cant stop popups to be opened with gtkmozembed api. Basically if
you connect the new_window callback you are then forced to provide
mozilla a window where to open the page.

Hmm .. but didn't Galeon used to have an option to not to open popups
at all?

Right but that's just a mozilla preference. If you set that pref the
new_window callback is never fired.

oh :(

hmm .. ok, that's too bad :/

ok, it was more thought of as something that might be possible to fix,
you can close the bug if you want, Epiphany will still rock the pants
of anyone!! :)

Mozilla has gone through many different types of popup blocking, and
has finally settled on "block unrequested popup windows" with a bypass
list for sites that need it. It's not a terribly complicated UI,
especially if combined with a first-time-user alert box explaining
what's happening.

Are you saying this is impossible to implement through mozembed? The
gconf key Epiphany installed doesn't seem to do anything, nor does
adding the relevant pref to .gnome2/epiphany/mozilla/user.js. I wish
it did. In fact, I wish it was on by default. The argument Mozilla has
for not turning it on by default does not apply to Epiphany
(http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=111542).

marking this a dupe of the popup blocking bug.
