Samurai Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 We all know Firefox has it's own built in pop-up blocker, but sometimes it doesn't block eevry single one. Well... a buddy of mine just posted some URL's on another forum leading to a way to block every pop-up.First check out...http://www.newszoom.com/search/latest/ragnarok/news/Around 10-15 pop ups will load up, and if you're lucky only around 2 or 3 will load up and the rest will be blocked. I'm unsure how these pop ups work but they do get through Firefox's security.To ensure this never happens again, follow these guidelines...1. Install the ChromEdit extension2. Go to the tools menu and click "Edit User Files"3. Go to the "userContent.css" tab 4. Go to this link and copy the code - http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/adblock5. Paste it in your userContent.css file and click save6. Restart your browserEnjoy ad-free surfing!In case you're wondering how this works, it just blocks elements in the page that are the same as those specified in your userContent.css, so it doesnt even load the image/iframe/whatever (unlike Adblock).Try that original page again - good eh! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LemonHead2089 Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 I didn't get any popups either. There wasn't any notification that lets you know whether iit blocked any popups or not neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 Strange.Some people got some, some didn't and we're all using latest version, 1.0.4 right? Oh well, if you do come across a site that you receive pop-ups from, then follow this guide and let us know if it works for you.I'm getting none whatsoever now, not even an alert as you mentioned earlier.

erRor67 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 THere are a lot of good extensions that can be used to improve security and popups..Adblock is a good one as mentioned by Snake. You can even give it filters list from here: http://www.geocities.com/pierceive/adblock/FlashBlock is great for replacing FLash images with little boxes. This is useful since many sites now use Flash ads and even use flash to make popups. Also, now u just saved the loading of the site because u dont have to download the flash. And if you do want to see the flash, just click the box and the flash will download and play.NoScript is another extension for diabling scripts on sites that arnt on ur whitelist. Another great one since a lot of sites use scripts for nasy purposes. Grease Monkey. Dead usefull. You can take out any ads and modify any site so you can view it however you like. You can find tons of pre-written monkey scripts here: http://dunck.us/collab/GreaseMonkeyUserScripts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
