26 Jun 05 Firefox: Exterminate the Blocker-Immune Pop-Up Windows

If I used Firefox, this would be an incredibly handy way to exterminate the scourge of blocker-immune pop-up windows:

This has come up before, but I’m too lazy to link to the discussion so I’ll tell you what to do:

1. Type “about:config” in the address bar and hit enter.
2. Right-click anywhere and choose New>Integer.
3. Name it “privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins” and give it a value of 2.

This disallows any plug-ins from generating pop-ups, which is how sites are getting around the default blocking methods.
