FF 1.0.2 having a hard time blocking pop-ups?

[Filliz]

Is it me or does firefox really have problems with blocking pop-ups?

With previous versions there was like maybe one pop-up on a 100 websites that got through and now it's almost like 1 out of 10 that comes thorugh :huh:

Anybode else noticed this?

Mine seems alright.

You do have adblock installed don`t you and the latest list of adblocks as well.??? :unsure:

I've got adblock installed.
Not sure if it's up to date though.

I'll try that popupsdie thing but I've heard from other people on another board that it blocks everything without the option of allowing pop-ups for certain sites.


edit:
Installed it and I'm uninstalling it again :rolleyes:
Problem is when I try to click links in someones message on a messageboard nothing happens. :huh:
It doesn't open a new tab...nothing.
No problem on this board though :blink:

I'll just wait for the 1.0.3 release of Firefox,which should be out pretty soon, and see if they fixed it.

I don't have a problem with it . I hav'n tryed the popsupdie yet, had trouble d/l till 15% helped out .

You could work around popupsdie if you open a link in another tab by using the middle mouse button or rightmouse button open in new tab. I also noticed what you said about popupsdie but is in beta so what do you excpect.
I think it's seeing opened links as popups.

Saw this tonite while looking around.

This caught my eye ! Quote :

Even without this pref, I have never seen a popup or popunder in Firefox for months.

I use adblock with these filters:

@ 15 % , boy there are sure a lot of ways to skin a cat ! :)

[Afronaut]

Well, Proxomitron and Opera does it for me. That cat is dead with these tools, not just the skin.

:D

(...not really easy to set up but it is better than FF imo)
