How do I prevent new windows?

Greetings,

When I go to thePirateBay.com, a new window opens. The website opens a new window using Javascript (window.open). I've tried opening the site in a Private Window but it doesn't help. How can I prevent new windows from opening?

Thanks, Shane.

What do you mean by another window opens? I see two meanings to this.

1) Another window opens without your permission containing an ad 2) A blank window opens

Can you clarify if possible?

Thanks!

Options > Tabs = Open new windows in a new tab instead
Is that check-marked?

It's a new window (not a tab) that is fully maximized and contains an ad.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Shane.

the-edmeister,

Yes, it's checked.

I'm trying to prevent new windows completely for this site. I thought I could do it by opening a New Private Window, but that doesn't seem to work. Is there something that does?

Thanks, Shane.

Thanks.

I'm still going to see if it's possible to do something like this on a per-site basis, instead of implementing this restriction for all websites.

It's hard to tell exactly where the popups originate. You can block the in-page ads using the YesScript extension (screen shot attached). I still get a popup randomly, but then I can follow 15 links without one. Not sure what's going on.

I was able to find exactly where the new window opens by using Web Developer > Page Source. Can Firefox disable JavaScript for a single site, or do I have to download the extension you mentioned?

Thanks, Shane.

Using an extension to block JavaScript on one site is easiest. Possibly you could create a rule in user.js/prefs.js as described in this article: http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projec.../ConfigPolicy.html.
