Flash Popups in Firefox

Those of you who have used Firefox for a while have undoubtedly encountered a problem with certain types of popups getting past the generally outstanding popup blocker in the software. It is puported that these may be caused by Flash – and this tip alleges to fix the problem through the use of privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins. I went back to PopupTest, and it seems that I’m still vulnerable to the Drop Down Popup, so it looks like the search continues.

    For the Firefox sporadic popups: Try the adblock extension, using an optimized filterset (Filterset G) – it licked the problem for me.
