Popups on Mozilla
I guess Mozilla and Firefox must be getting popular. I have noticed I am starting to get the annoying pop ups on Mozilla this week. The assholes who design pop up ads would not waste their time unless Mozilla was becoming a significant player in the browser market. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. If you happen to know a pop up ad designer please kick him in the nuts for me.

3. Do you have
Spybot and Ad-Aware installed on your machine? It sounds like you have something that got through Firefox.

6. Spybot rocks!
I haven't had one pop-up since I got it configured correctly.

4. Me too.
I've had two this week. The only two I've ever had since switching to Firefox.

:shrug: Don't know what the deal is though.
