Hello all,
I have SM 2.4.1 running on Win XP
SP3.
Here's something that's bugged me for
a long while. I thought eventually
someone else would bring it up and
soon after, it would be fixed. Oh
well.
Why is it SM no longer stops
pop-ups?
When a page loads that has a pop-up,
I have assigned a "pop" sound and the
highlighted exclamation point shows
on the bottom toolbar. But then, if I
should click anywhere on the page,
the pop-up will open into a new tab,
instead of remaining suppressed.
This happens on almost all websites
that use pop-ups. (Oftentimes, they
will use Flash for these pop-ups, but
the Flashblock extension disables it,
so it only shows the "F" button.)
Is there anything I can change to
prevent the pop-ups from happening?
TIA.
You do not state whether you have
Block unrequested popup windows checked
under your Privacy and Security
preferences.
Are the offending popups Ads?
I don't have Flashblock installed, but
do have AdBlock Plus installed and
never have a problem with unrequested
popups.
I double checked the preference setting,
and it is checked. However, I see in the
disclaimer: "Even if blocked, websites
may use other methods to show popups."
So, that may be what's happening.
I'm currently not using AdBlock Plus,
which I tried a long time ago, but didn't
like the way it worked back then.
Got any examples of pages that are giving
you popups?
Sure. Here's one (comics site):

Not getting any popup(s) on the site, what are
you seeing as a "popup"?
It's usually an ad (using Flash) for Netflix. I
notice now that after it pops up, it can't get it
to repeat until after I close SM and open again to
the page.
Here's a few more sites with the same action:
