New popups - how to stop?

[beatle]

I've noticed over the past few weeks that some sites are getting new popups that aren't blocked by Firefox. Webshots and Cardomain are two sites that have this "new style" of popup. It looks just like the usual kind, but they're not stopped. Are there any new extensions that might help combat these annoying things?

If those sites are both .com then you might need to update it.

I had no pop ups at either of the sites.

Make sure to check for spyware and such also.

No ad/spyware. Webshots doesn't seem to be doing it this morning. Go to cardomain.com and click on "rides" at the top. It's not consistent, but sometimes there will be an ad there. Also try browsing some of the cars.

It could be using Flash... look for the FlashBlock extension and see if that helps.

If Firefox is anything like Mozilla, make sure 'popups' are turned off in preferences and then when on the offending site goto Tools> Cookie Manager> Block Cookies From This Site.

Works for me.
