Have Pop-ups Returned to your copy of Firefox?


Defeat the clever louts who figured out how to stuff pop-ups back into Firefox.


I keep up-to-date with versions of Firefox and the few plug-ins I ever use. You can imagine my frustration when, recently, Firefox -- which has been delightfully pop-up free in the latest versions -- began to return pop-ups and pop-unders.

This morning I decided to Google around for a solution and found one, first page of results. Special Kudos to Pete Bevin, a 34 year old web geek in Toronto, Canada. His solution identified the culprits as using the Flash plug-in. A line or two of code and I’m back running pop-up FREE!

Thanks, Pete.
