Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!

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.

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

Yeah, pop ups here...
Ads go funny then a whole load of popup windows

Had to kill firefox to stop them... ar$e

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

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

IE with SP2 = No popups :p


.... At the minute anyway :eek:

Read the thread title. :Yes: :D

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

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.

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

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.

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

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

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

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

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

firefox.. with popup and adblock extensions = no popups at all

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

Nothing using Opera !! ;)

(Yeh I know about the thread title :p: )

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

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

Re: Mozilla & Firefox users please try this link!
 

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:
