Cannot reproduce this (both in normai and full screen mode). It just
asks you if you want to allow or to block, with the remember checkbox
and then it fires your default web browser (Safari in my
configuration)

With intel computers AR8 is must upgrade (native) and I think with
Windows too (sorry for the mentioning forbidden name): AR7 and A7 on
Windows opens two docs in the same shared window. It would be
inconvenient as it is but we have a Windows machine in Our Seminar
Room with VGA output splitter leading to two data-projectors and in
AR7 trying to run two pdfs in full screen mode on two screens resulted
in fool screen mode: 1 pdf on foreground and another behind it
(invisible). In AR8 at least each pdf doc has its own window (as it
always had on Mac/UNIX).
