puppeto

I've been noticing something lately. It seems more and more often when I'm browsing around the web with Firefox that I keep getting popups. I do have the popup blocker enabled and only allow popups that I directly click on. Apparently some nefarious webmasters have figured out how to bypass the blocker with some tricky work on a link which allows a popup to be shown when going to another website. I've tried modifying the blocker's settings on the 3 different levels in the config file for firefox. The only problem with this is that I can completely defeat the popups on sites that had bypass

Been running for about the past 24 hours without a single hiccup. I'd say this one is resolved. Thanks again.
