Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 
http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...spx?i=2149&p=8

I want you to stay on the page for a minute or two, as if you were reading the article.
What I experienced was the popup blocker doing it's job once (with the custom sound file I use) then all of a suddent a torrent of popups came up.
I want to see if anyone else gets it, and if so I think they've cracked Mozilla's popup blocking. :(

No pop ups here but the ads drove the firewall mad for a couple of seconds while the page was completing its load.

Try another page in the article, or refreshing.
If it's what I think it's the return of the IE days. :grind:

I don't get popups as such...

Just a lot of flickering near the top of the page (I guess this is the popups trying to open?)

But nothing stays open if you see what I mean.

I've got no popups and I'm not showing any being blocked, I'm going to make the assumption that this is because I've got adblock blocking the ads. It's the IFrames that I have blocked, so I imagine that the Mozilla popup controls aren't covering Iframes correctly. Alternatively, the Flash ads could be responsible.

I had what looked like the add flashing over and over again before it ended up on the page.


Mozilla handled it until it settled.

Hmm, it only seems to happen when it blocks a popup because they must revert to an alternate method of opening then.

Same here. Flickering at the top, but nothing stayed.

The popups seem to have vanished as suddenly as they appeared. :confused:

It seems so, this morning I remembered that I also have Mozilla installed as well as Firefox so I thought I'd try it as I haven't installed Adblock et al with it. No popups at all even without the popup blocker.

The flickering on the ads is unrelated I think, it's because the ads are being inserted by Javascript and the browser is trying to render things before the scripting is complete.

Mystery about the popups though :shrug:

Trying to access my Tesco Insurance the other day and the page constantly refreshes. This only happens with Firefox not in IE. Most frustrating.. anyone else out there with this happening?
