According to this: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting#w_is-the-pop-up-shown-after-a-mouse-click-or-a-key-press Firefox doesn't block pop-ups after mouse click. Is there a way to enable this, so i don't have to use a plugin for firefox?

hello Wullabulla, you can enter about:config into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named dom.popup_allowed_events - double-click and clear all the predefined entries and save the preference empty.
