By hijacking mean, I was no longer on the BA Blog, What ever advert that had turned up on the blog was shutting down the browser I was using to view the blog and then opening up it's own browser windows without me clicking on any advert.

My system, means my home desktop PC. I did not get a choice as to whether I accepted or rejected the ad, it just closed the browser I was using down and opened up new browser windows.

As to a bug in the Browser, on my Desktop at home I was using the latest edition of firefox, at work we have internet explorer, so this was capable of controlling two different browsers.

From my experience of Javascript it is possible to code a webpage to open up a new browser window and change its shape and deny the ability to resize the new window and it is possible to code a webpage so that it can close down. In different pages I have used such coding, legitimately. To get the effect I describe I suppose all you do is run your new window opening code followed by your existing window closing code.
