problem with pop ups

algaeson · 06-23-2007, 01:14 AM

I continually get popups from www.rogersgifs.com appearing behind the web page being viewed. I have to close 2 of them every time I shut down Firefox. How can I stop this happening? I am using Windows XP. I have run Adaware and AVG antivirus but the problem still occurs. Any help in simple English would be appreciated.

Have you checked this setting?

Tools > Options > Content > 'Block pop-up windows'

If you have a good firewall (like Comodo) forceful pop-ups should not appear at all.

NoScript will totally eliminate pop-ups that a less featured firewall combined with tweaked settings cannot control.
