why do retail sites still do this?

design annoyances

1) Popup windows
2) resizing the main window
3) popup windows that you can't resize
4) flash that needs to "load" before you can navigate the page
5) animation that replays every time you go to the site

and finally I get super-annoyed with 100% flash sites, so you can't link to a product itself.

edit: why the fuck did everyone comment on this and not alien abductions?

Am I saying what is a security risk...?

FF users being able to play with stuff?

Good god no, it's the other way around. The ability of a web *developer* to deny control to a web *user* is a security risk.
