Remember this article on the oncoming threat of the Flash popup? An enterprising nerd has found a solution within Firefox.

Just one more reason Firefox rocks :)
It sure does. Although this fix would also break legit popups from flash too. For instance, I design flash timelines that open windows when a user clicks on an event. In the case that the popup is by choice, Flash should allow it somehow. (HTML popup blockers don't stop events that were deliberate, as long as they're coded in a pretty straightforward manner)
In my opinion, Macromedia should only allow getURL calls (javascript is called as a getURL(javascript:...)) to work from events that required user interaction (onClick, onKeyPress). I wonder if this is possible though; can they rig it so that the player checks backwards to what event a function was tied to?
