Firefox 3 and "Hover ad"?

Post by Malandro »

In FF2 I had no problem blocking all ads at a certain site. Now that I've installed FF3, the site is hijacked by a "Brought to You By" ad that takes over the whole screen and doesn't go away. Seeing it is bad enough; now you have to just bail out of the site entirely.

Are you guys aware of this kind of problem between FF2 and 3? Thanks.

No, who's subscription(s) are you using?

Where is this occurrence happening?

I don't know what you mean by "whose subscriptions are you using." But the site--if you must know--is
Flashyourrack.com. NSFW, etc.

I had to disable my filtering to get it to show up, so it must have been already blocked. But all I had to do was to select "skip this ad" at the page top.

I wasn't able to target it again because it only showed up twice and I haven't been able to get it back since.

It may be "adultfriendfinder" or "etology" that is doing it .. can't verify. It would be a script though.

More like marketbanker.com's script there. Block that whole domain. Fuck'em and their page-sized ads.
