baratronI hate advertising on the internet, but regard it as something of a necessary evil. If a site that would otherwise cost money to access can be made free by having ads on it, then that's something I can live with. But only if they're banner ads.
Lately, quite a few sites have started using pop-up ads which spawn a new browser window. The more annoying of them not only pop up new ads, but take over your desktop, crash your browser and eventually your window manager. Argh!

what you want to do is add this line to your prefs.js:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open", "noAccess");there's more info on the mozilla site about its Configurable Security Policies... i found this out from reading followups to a slashdot article
