NYT pops up a sidebar window? Huh, hadn't noticed... I have all my
browsers configured to block popups and NYT seems to work well enough
without it that I've never suspected anything was missing.
I very, very rarely (as in once or twice a year, if that) run across
sites that actually won't work without their popups and I tend to deal
with that by using the Mozilla Preferences Toolbar plugin, which gives
you a configurable toolbar to control the browser configuration. Hit a
site that needs popups? Click the 'allow popups' checkbox, do what you
need to with the site, click the box again to turn them off. Easy as
that.
