It doesn't always work, in particular if the page was trying to get a reference to the popup window so it can modify content in response to in-page actions. It won't have that reference because the original window.open() call failed and the "open" button launches an orphan window. I'm all for restricting "powerful" features to HTTPS but popups are not powerful, they are at worst an annoyance that can be turned back off if they're abused. -Dan Veditz _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
