Re: [gentoo-user] Mozilla - pop-ups not blocked !!

[JimD]

No popups for me.  I am using Firefox 1.5 and I also have the adblock extension installed.  Looking at adblock it appears that anything from the url ads.indiatimes.com is blocked.

Try putting this line in your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 ads.indiatimes.com

Or install these two extensions:

For Firefox:
http://adblock.mozdev.org/
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136

For Mozilla Sute:
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=10&application=mozilla
https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136&application=mozilla

Just restart Firefox/Mozilla after you install the two extensions.

  Hi,

  I am using Mozilla 1.7.12 
  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20060222
  at my home desktop. However, even when configured to block unrequested popups, my mozilla [on both windows and linux] is not able to block pop-ups from websites. I assure you this is not a spam/dangerous link and you shall know exactly what I mean if you clicked on

  This is my news-consolidated site that I access every morning.
  What may I be doing wrong?
