I have the following which I think should stop all third party cookies
1. Uncheck 'Accept cookies from sites' (same as setting Network.cookie.cookieBehavior to 2 )
2. list acceptable site under [Exceptions]

I usually delete the cookies when I quit Firefox
Just been back to the site and this time I get another of these surveys that float in from the left.
This one took about 20 seconds to appear
Any more thoughts, - I'll run spybot shortly
tks

I went to that site and don't see any surveys. I went to the comment page where there was a survey on dog/cat fur. I clicked on it and the survey window popped up. These are my pop up settings in about:config
