Hack to block Flash Firefox popups
August 5, 2005 at 09:12 AM
Update 8/9: From what I can tell, this not only didn't work, it messed some things up. Not advised.
Link: Firefox popups | www.petebevin.com. Fortunately, you can get around it: The possible values are:about:config into the Firefox location bar.privacy.popups.disable_from_pluginsdom.popup_maximum.


I've noticed a decrease in pop ups since I followed that advice, and nothing has stopped working, AFAIK.

Hi Chris, I may have noticed a decrease in popups, but I guess I was expecting them to all go away, and they haven't. Also: sites like this don't seem to load at all in FF and I'm not sure if it's related, but I think it is because now that I've nuked that "fix" this site loads fine. http://www.dungeonseige.com

FWIW, the site loads fine for me, and I've still got the fix on.
