Well, found out that Netscape conveniently left off the option which is in Mozilla that allows the user to easily diable popup windows (AOL's hand, obviously). But you can still access that feature if you want to do a little easy hacking.

Now, I have not tried these particular hacks yet, but I have modified other preference files in Mozilla. It's not too hard to do. Find your pref.js file in your Mozilla user profile directory (yes, it's listed under Mozilla in a sub-directory of /Windows, or elsewhere, depending on your OS). Make sure Netscape is off, even the quick start icon. Make a backup of pref.js. Edit pref.js with a text editor and insert one of the following (don't insert the expanations after the line of code):

user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open","noAccess");

-- will cut off all popup windows

user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);

-- will cut off popup windows only when a page is loading

user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true);

-- will "override popping up new windows on target=anything"

Save prefs.js and restart Netscape 7.0 PR1. You could try each one of these and see which works the best for you.

These preference options and more are available on the Mozilla website.
