Good Firefox Pop Up Blocker?

[Lostlover]

Any suggestions for a good Firefox Pop Up Blocker? For some reason I'm still getting a lot of pop ups with Firefox and the browser was supposed to be good at preventing them.

tried adblock plus?

How does this work? (embarassed) Where can I download it?

some pop-ups may already be embedded at your PC. try using spybot search and destroy for adwares and pop-up generators.

download adblock plus here

and download the adblock/adblock+ filterset updater

Thanks.

How do the filters work?

i think they block everything defined in the adblock file, which should be a lot ...
if it's not ennough you can download this adblock file and import it over the import function in adblock plus.

now you should have an ad-free webbrowsing experience ... at least i do ...

Thanks smirnoff. I just added this filter on Adblock. I owe you one .

EDIT: For some reason, all of my ads that I have blocked today are coming up after I installed that filter.

Also, where did you find that filter in the first place. Thanks.

thanks. good to know.

by importing the filter you can choose between overwrite current filter-settings or add to current filter settings ...
it looks like you will have to block those things again...

Also, where did you find that filter in the first place. Thanks.

i found it somewhere here.

I really thought you would have succumbed to WoW addiction by now.

LOL, I'm still here. My uncle said he'd pay for half a year's subscription for me. I'm waiting for him to do so .

Thanks, working on adding that filter to my current settings.

Do you know anything about the Firefox add on that blocks/deletes the tabs so that you can't see which tab is porn and which tab is email? I hope that makes sense, but there is an add on that deletes the texts on the tabs.

Thanks!
