It's not an ordinary popup ad. Netscape says there's a javascript
error. It tells that for a description of the error she can type
"javascript:" into the location box. That brings up the Console.
It's weird that the console contains ad text and weird that
javascript will work for me, using the same OS and Communicator version.
