Ever since the release of Firefox 1.0 advertisers have searched for new ways of implementing their pop ups and ended up using pop-up abilities of Java and Flash which the Mozilla developers didn’t block since they feared it would block any legitimate use for them.

If you’ve been getting them (I know I have) then install this plugin made by the developers themselves.

Note: you need to allow the site to install plugins. Click on the “Edit Options” button that will appear then click on “Allow” on the window that will popup.
