Hehe. I nearly ignored this post as the Subject: looked like porn spam :-)
Yeah, I agree, that new pop-up is way over the top. I think they are
trying to emulate the "help" bubbles in XP (they annoy me as well, so
I've turned them off).
Looking at the prefs I don't think you can (and still have the systray
icon). "Show an alert" applies to both AFAICT.
BTW, have you seen any strange effects with this? I was browsing a web
site when, suddenly, my whole screen turned white. I could see and move
the mouse cursor but there was no keyboard or mouse button response.
Hitting Ctrl-Alt-Del and opening the Task Manager I found a (separate)
Mozilla task, "Downloading alert.xul". I killed that off an all returned
to normal. So I guess alert.xul is the file in question, although I had
seen this pop up once already, so why it had to d/l it I've no idea.
