Is there any legitimate use for popups which remain popped up when the
page which triggered them changes URL?

I must be really dense, but I've been thinking that the fix is for
browsers to close all popups associated with a page either when the
document URL changes, or perhaps when it changes to reference another
host.  I've not yet figured out what the problem with that is and why
it's not done.

What am I missing, or is this another example of browsers being
hatefully stoopid?
