To block pop-ups from plugins, open your Firefox 1.0 or 1.0.1 browser, type about:config in the address field. Right-click in the resulting config page somewhere and select New -> Interger. Type privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins in the resulting dialog, hit OK, type 2 in the next dialog and you're all set.


This pref can actually take three values:


* 0: open allowed
* 1: the opened windows are treated as popups, but they're allowed to open (we limit the number of these types of popups)
* 2: the window is a popup, block it

    Also, there's a privacy.popups.firstTime preference in about:config that's set to False. This worked for me, killing a couple of the new-style popups with no ill effects. Note that these prefs are undocumented and may have side effects...
