Re: [gentoo-user] Mozilla - pop-ups not blocked !!

[JimD]

No popups for me.  I am using Firefox 1.5 and I also have the adblock extension installed.  Looking at adblock it appears that anything from the url ads.indiatimes.com is blocked.   Try putting this line in your /etc/hosts file:   127.0.0.1 ads.indiatimes.com   Or install these two extensions:   For Firefox: http://adblock.mozdev.org/ https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136   For Mozilla Sute: https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=10&application=mozilla https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=1136&application=mozilla   Just restart Firefox/Mozilla after you install the two extensions.   Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: Rohit Sharma To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Sent: Sunday, March 19, 2006 12:48 PM Subject: [gentoo-user] Mozilla - pop-ups not blocked !! Hi, I am using Mozilla 1.7.12 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20060222 at my home desktop. However, even when configured to block unrequested popups, my mozilla [on both windows and linux] is not able to block pop-ups from websites. I assure you this is not a spam/dangerous link and you shall know exactly what I mean if you clicked on http://www.samachar.com/showurl.htm?rurl=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1455375.cms?headline=Couples~framing~parents~with~dowry This is my news-consolidated site that I access every morning. What may I be doing wrong?
