Summary: Mozilla and Firefox vulnerabilities
When a popup is blocked the user is given the ability to open that
popup through the popup-blocking status bar icon and, in Firefox,

It was discovered that the browser did not start with a clean global
JavaScript state for each new website. This allowed a malicious web
page to define a global variable known to be used by a different site,
allowing malicious code to be executed in the context of that site
