Popups

Using Firefox 1.02, I occasionally get a couple popups for http://spe.atdmt.com/ds/TBTSFASJEASK/?qstr=&q= and http://spe.atdmt.com/ds/TBTSFASJEASK/ but the windows are not standard popups, they're full windows just as if someone had coded a meta opennewwindow or something. It seems to occur when an askjeeves banner comes up.

Is that normal?

Not normal, and there are supposed to be ZERO ad pop ups here, only pop up should be the one that announces you have a private message.

I will see if the ad servers are sneaking things in again... thanks.

I haven't seen any yet, but I'll let you know if I do.

I got some info from an ad forum I am on... Identical match to what Kilamon reported, and they are supposedly from MSN and Hotel.com ads... I need to check when I get home.

I don't see where I have any of the offending ads selected in my profiles... Keep an eye on it, please! I haven't had a pop in a long time and thought it was all clear! Thanks!

Kil - as a side note... FF 1.0.3 is out, with security fixes.

I updated to 1.0.3 on wednesday. I've been paying more attention to the popups too and it's definately occurring when an ask jeeves ad is on the screen. I even had one occasion where it was the only advert and using the back button loaded it again creating more windows.

Ask jeeves on top or on the side? Confused

I have blocked all ask jeeves ads... give it a few hours to kick in. let me know if it helps!

Yesterday I disabled my popup blocker to see if I'd get any popups - nothing yet. Confused
