Just a thought: have you turned OFF pop-up window blocking? [I believe] it is ON in the default install of both Mozilla and Firefox. I have found a few sites who's 'add to cart ' tries to open a new window...
Or you could specifically allow pop-ups for individual sites instead of turning it off for all sites. For Mozilla: Edit -> Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> Popup Windows. (Or you could double-click the little icon on the status bar indicating a blocked popup window.)
Hmmmnnn I should have thought of that. I forgot to look for the icon, Of course that might be because I NEVER look for icons which are to me mostly meaningless. If I could get Mozilla to display a text message on the status bar ("[Popup blocked]" would be ideal) instead. Or to play a distinctive sound when it puts the icon there. I might learn to look for it. Still I remember liking the concept when I first read about it, and had I looked for it, and if it had been there, I might have guessed it's purpose.
By the way can you tell me if clicking on that icon (assuming it was there) would have given me the choice to un-block the site for the current browser session only. Or would I have had to edit the preferences to re-block popups for the site next time?
Mozilla will play a sound when it blocks pop-ups if you want it to go to edit preferences, privacy and security, popups, and then you can check the box to play any sound you want. I think it would get very annoying but if that's what you're looking for.
