Indeed. I've used Mozilla for quite a while now, and every time I have
occasion to use MSIE instead, I wonder how I ever lived without an option
to disable unsolicited JavaScript "open new window" requests.
The funny part is how so many advertisers feel threatened and "violated"
by this option... as if it's somehow mandatory to execute any and all code
on a webpage, regardless of browser capabilities or user preferences.
