Popups and popunders
Lots of news of late regarding Firefox and popups designed to show up in that browser. And here’s a summary of various means of combatting that, for my own reference…
Thanks! We have two machines with exactly this problem – relentless popups and popunders in Firefox.
Firefox has a couple issues they’d better get on top of real fast – this being one, the other being 100% CPU usage on some flash pages.
I’m surprised that you haven’t bumped into them yet, but then you may not surf as much as I do. It’s definitely becoming more common in my browsing that some sights are managing to bypass the popup blocker built into Firefox and there’s at least one company out there advertising just such a technology for that purpose.
My random browsing has been pretty severely curtailed for a number of weeks, both because of other time sinks and because of, well, office stuff.
