Background

Web authors who use window.open() to create new browser windows have the option of specifying which chrome features appear on the window (menu bars, toolbars, the status bar, etc.) and what window functionality is present (whether it’s resizable, whether it has scrollbars, etc.).

Oftentimes these parameters make a popup window less useful, or even obfuscate the popup’s contents and origin. This preference allows you to ignore the part of window.open() calls that tries to hide the Location Bar.

Possible values and their effects

True

Ignore "location=no" in the window features argument of window.open() and prevent popups from hiding the Location Bar. (Default in Firefox 3)

False

Allow popups to hide the Location Bar. (Default in Mozilla Suite/SeaMonkey and prior to Firefox 3)
