Since reverting to Firefox I have noticed that the popup blocking isn't as efficient as when I used IE. When using IE nothing ever got through. I had the default setting at medium and then also had the Google toolbar option as well.

However, Firefox's Google toolbar doesn't include this option and there is no scale to the amount of blockage available. I regularly get popups now which is quite annoying.

Ideally I would like an addon for Firefox that can improve this situation ( I tried a quick search of the Firefox site but couldn't find a relevent extension) without having to download a seperate application. Alternatively someone might just be able to tell me how to improve blocking.

Thanks

Awesomeness I'm going to go test this....very helpful. Thanks

wow! this is actualy quite the oposite for me

I tried it out and it works 100% for me

it works fine for me aswell

Thanks a lot.

So far I've only tried it out on mess.be which tends to have a few popups that sneak through the Firefox blocking..........And now they don't appear.

Thanks again!
