Even with popup blocker enabled, an annoying popup called interestalert.com keeps popping up whenever I visit a certain site. Is there a way to configure something in firefox to stop this one popup?
thanks, |

Blackhole that domain in your hosts file. Point it to 127.0.0.1.

Pop-ups must die is doing a good job for me, I haven't seen a single pop-up since I installed it a few weeks ago.
The current beta is on the FF extentsions page.

Oddly enough I had to uninstall and reinstall linkification (not update) to get it to work with 1.04. |

If you have Windows XP, go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc and open the file called "hosts". Add a line at the bottom that says "127.0.0.1 domain name" (without quotes), filling in domain name with the web address of the popup that is giving you trouble.
