stop the firefox popup or I'll stop using Yahoo? - Fred - 05-06-2014 12:28 PM
I'll set my computer the way I want it to be. I have my browsers set the way I want them to be, but every time I open Yahoo the popup trying to get me to change my Firefox home page to Yahoo and as far as I can tell there's no way to stop it and I have to X it out over and over. I like Yahoo but it's a pain having to deal with this all the time. If it doesn't stop I'm considering stop using Yahoo all together. Fix this problem please, I'm not concerned with any deals you have with others just the deal you have with me.

I use Firefox and have never had this problem. Maybe it's because I have the AdBlock and/or ScriptBlock installed.

you have a web browser virus. download the program adwcleaner.
somebody wasnt watching what they were doing when they clicked next.
run the program. sometimes you need to delete firefox user settings in your roaming folder.

Firefox, ad block plus, skip cert error 0.4.0,
about:config , dom.disable_window_open_feature.*
Set all these preferences to true to override crippled popups that harass you
