I'l quote this from the mozilla faq (http://www.mozilla.org/start/1.0/faq/browser.html#2.4): "2.4. I've heard about 'popup blocking'. How do I do this? Go to Edit | Preferences | Advanced | Scripts & Windows, and uncheck the powers you do not want to grant to web pages. Unchecking 'Open unrequested windows' blocks most unrequested popups." Hope that helps Arthur Frank Roberts - SOTL wrote: > Another dumb question but this one is beginning to drive me nuts. > > In KDE one can easily delete unwanted cookies on a dial up connected box with > out network capabilities. > > Is there some easy way to delete unwanted Pop Up Banner Adds which appear when > you access a site. > > Clicking on the URL to the add shows that it originates from a different site > than the one being visited. > > Personally I know of no way of filtering out such trash without setting the > box up on a network. > > Thanks > > Frank > > - > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs > > > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
