Firefox and poppups

rusty JEDI · #1 09-24-2005, 02:12 AM

I recently started getting popups through firefox. Did the popup companies finally put the time in to write the programming to make the popups work in firefox. I still get the message along the top saying that firefox has prevented a popup, but in reality it comes out.

Anybody else?

I get one from time to time from bittorent sites and such.

I get them here and there in Firefox even though I have a pop-up blocker.

Would you guys say the improvement from firefox is enough that I should take the time to download it ?

Well you could have had it done in the time it made you to make that post.

Yes. The greater security is reason enough to get Firefox, but it's also quite a bit faster than IE; I really noticed it right away. And the tabbed browsing, though IE has that now, I understand, is very nice. And I get far fewer pop-ups, and the plug-ins are pretty good in general.

It's definitely worth giving it a try. I can't imagine anyone not liking it.

How about Opera?
