Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Some sites (uploaded.to for instance) have pop-up ads attachted to their downloadlinks (which isn't bad), but they turn fullscreen (REAL fullscreen - overlapping OS-controls) sometimes. Like when you hit F11, except for you can't reach the closing button. File, Edit and all the other options are still available, but the only closing option there is to close the entire browser, which I usually don't want to do.
I tried to reproduce it to make a screenshot but it didn't work.
My suggestion would be to cap pop-ups to a certain size (like 640x480), so they don't become REALLY annoying. But you are the devs, so you might have better ideas to solve that issue.
