   If its a flash popup, then you have to make another setting. In the   
   browsers address bar type in about:config and look for this entry:   
      
   privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins   
      
   once found double click on it and change the number to 2.   
      
   If you don't have it, then click on any entry, do a right click,   
   select New, Integer, and in the 1st box enter the above line and in   
   the 2nd enter 2.

   I was using Netscape 7.2 and performed the above advice. I did not have the   
   setting and put it in. Upon a subsequent re-boot, Netscape would not open.   
   There was an error message indicating something was wrong with the "binding"   
   and this prevented Netscape from functioning. (cant remember the exact   
   wording). System restore would not bring back Netscape's functionality.   
   Removing Netscape and re-installing (add/remove) would not get it to open.   
   Manual deletion in Windows Explorer did not work to allow a new install that   
   worked.   
      
   Any suggestions as to where there might still be remnants of Netscape or   
   that would contain about:config?   
      
   A download of Netscape 8.1 and Thunderbird did work.   
      
   Thanks for any help or suggestions
