The Gun Of Bavaria Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Fans of Firefox, I'm having trouble preventing popups with a few sites when I'm surfing. Sites like The Drudge Report, ABC News, ESPN, and other common news and sports sites are somehow getting their popups past both Firefox's and the Google Tool Bar's Anti-Popup programs. Any ideas? I'm ran Spybot, Microsoft Anti-Spyware, and McAfee and have found no forms of spyware, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommccabe Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 also do a search on that page for drudgereport and the second or third instance of it in the comments has more info about how to block the ads from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasonJet Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 The pop-up blocker works pretty well for me. And what the hell are you reading Sludge for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
