Virtuagirl new tab not blocked

Post by TackleAndBlock »

Apologies from a newbie if this is just too basic!

How do I keep Virtuagirl.com from opening a new tab? Tab - not popup.

I'm using Firefox 37.0.2 for Windows 7 64-bit and subscribe to EasyList, EasyPrivacy, and Adblock Warning Removal List.

Details: A site I use to download opens the Virtuagirl new tab when I click to start the download. I've used this site many, many times so I really do know how to avoid .exe files and so on. Give me some credit. But the Virtuagirl tab has got me stumped. I've only entered less than a handful of custom filters, meaning I'm still learning the "language".

Does anyone have a solution?

The site is uploadrocket.net. Here's a link to an ebook http://uploadrocket.net/c7ha464h9nvq.htm

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the grey button "Click for Free Download"
The screen will sort of refresh, so click it again
Do the Capcha, but don't hit Enter - click the grey "Create Download Link" button
When you do, you will get a New Tab from Virtuagirl that Adblock will not close - you have to do it yourself

No, it's not like my fingers are broken but I'm tired of seeing this crap and I think Adblock should have some way to handle it.

click abp icon, filter preferences, "custom filters" tab, if you dont see any filters group create 1, then paste the filters above in the right panel (if you dont see the panel drag the vertical pointed line on the right to the left)
