   All your settings, prefs, passwords, bookmarks, mail, etc are stored   
   in an area called your profile.  Your profile is separate from the   
   Program Directory.  When you remove the program, you're only removing   
   the program and not the profile.  The profile is not touched.  So,   
   stop uninstalling and reinstalling.  99.9 percent of the time, it   
   doesn't work, because the problem is within your profile.   
      
   Do this while Netscape is closed. Locate your profile, and find the   
   file prefs.js.  This file contains yor about:config stuff.  Look for   
   the line that has privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins in it and delete   
   the whole line.  Save the file and reopen Netscape.   
      
   To locate your profile, you can read this:   
   http://ilias.ca/netscape/profilefaq/#locations   
      
   But first, if you're using windows, your profile is hidden, and you   
   have to unhide window files, and you can do that by reading this:

   /tips/hiddenfiles.mspx   
      
   Good luck!!!!
