Test it out for yourself.

Looks like those who wrote the pop up blocking script for FireFox are going to have to re-write it to F*&^k the guys over!

That page reads like a spam site peddling V!AGRA or amazing Japanese knife sets that cost 29.95.

I don't get any popups using Mozilla SM. Am I doing anything wrong?

It should look like a sticky note, and it doesn't open in a seperate window. Spam if you ask me

Let's hope whoever decided to implement popups combines the two.

Heh:

Everything from Microsoft's new SP2 update to hundreds of other pop blockers; they're trying to keep people from seeing your sales message.


Yes. That's it. Popup blockers aren't trying to prevent popups, <em>they're a conspiracy against your sales message!</em>

In any event AdBlock catches it.
