That is a fine theory, except so many webapps would cease to work
(yes, they're hateful; no, that doesn't mean Firefox can ignore
them) that the popup blocking setting would have to be considered
hateful ANYWAY. Maybe extra-strong popup blocking should be a
hidden pref.

Agreed, that's noise.

The worst is that trying to launch a new instance of Firefox as a
different user *still* reuses the already-running copy. This is
REALLY funny-ha-ha-I-get-it when the X server is remote and the
Firefox instances come from different machines. *froth*
