I know, and that is one possibility. But my real bitch is that while there is
an option to "Always allow" a website to open a popup, there is NOT one to
"Always deny." Some websites I don't ever wish to permit to open popups, because
they are only advertisements. All I want is an ability to tell a given website
to take its popups and pop them up where the sun doesn't shine. ;-)
