Looks like someone figured out how to beat Firefox's latest popup stopper implementation. I've had to resort to using the HOSTS file to block them - they're only from 4 or 5 domains.

"I'm seriously going to pummel you until you purr like a bitch-kitten!!"
Kinda old news consider yourself lucky if you haven't seen them yet. First started when the midlevel geeks started telling all the mommies and techna phobes. Who happen to be pop-up targets. If you have another browser that does any better it would only "do so" till everyone found out about it. Much the same way P2p's shifted popularity and MPAA,RIAA followed the popular one's. If they could make IRC easy or fast it would have followed Napster,grokster and the clones.

found it forgot what part of java is the culprit. java Script allows for pop-up workaround.
with out it nothing happens no pop-up nadaIII.
