Topic: Popups in FireFox beta 3

[ahluka]

A couple of days ago I switched to FF3b (from Opera) and so far everything's dandy. Except, once in a while, I get a popup, which never happened in Opera. I'm not saying I'd switch back based on this but it's still pretty annoying. I've of course got the popup blocker enabled... is there and addon I haven't found that I should get?

I hope so.  FF is shitty at blocking popups in comparison to Opera which was essentially perfect in this respect.

That's the only thing I run and I don't get pop-ups unless I tell it to allow them.

Yeehaa. Thanks.

Done and thanks.  Which do you subscribe to?

EasyList USA... I think it's the default one for the US.

Thanks for the link.

I think it was FF 3 Beta that let the virus on my machine. I'm sticking with FF 2 on my work laptop until further notice.

Oh.. and I used to use AdBlock all the time. Great tool. The sites I visit don't have ads that are as annoying as they used to be, so I haven't installed it lately.
