Firefox Tests Beefed-Up Popup Blocker

The Mozilla Foundation is testing a patch to its Firefox browser that puts the kibosh on popup ads which have been slipping through the open-source browser's blocker.

Not for me.

I like to stay updated, now matter what program it is.

Cool, I guess beefier is better! Also, I like Firefox over Opera because I don't want to pay for it, and the free version has a banner. If it was totally free, I might take a few minutes of my time to give it a try.

i'm sure it''s just that firefox is so much more popular then opera is why you hate it so much.

just like firefox people with ie.

I'll make sure to download the patch. I have noticed pop-ups slipping through, ironically it started when I downloaded Adblock, figures...
