Yes one million times! Mozilla, get on it! Or, looking at the current landscape of browsers, someone with some free time please implement it in a firefox fork :(

I for one dont see these pop ups; I just block all javascipt in websites using noScript and unblock just the absolutely necessary stuff. Doesnt work all the time, but it works well enough for me.
