Has anybody else noticed that the Built in Mozilla popup blocker is
not working very well anymore?

I use Firefox, and yes I noticed that too. I assumed naively that
people are beginning to work-around the controls...

Not working very well means exactly what?

Popups slipping through?
"Good" popups being blocked?
Other bugs with whitelisting? etc.

That seems to be the case. I thought it was just a problem on my end.
Maybe I messed around with the wrong setting or something.

Can you give an example URL? I spend a lot of time on the internet and
I have not had one slip through with Mozilla or Firefox.

If you have Tabbrowser Extensions installed, try running a profile
without TBE. TBE causes Firefox 0.10's popup-blocking not to work
properly, and I guess it might with the latest Mozilla as well.

Nope, don't have that one installed. But now I'm concerned that maybe
another extension might have a similar effect. At any rate, I'm also
using WebWasher and it does an excellent job of blocking popups in
both IE and Moz. It's just that sometimes I have to turn off my
proxies and that's when I see popups.

ACCKK!! I knew somebody would ask that. When it happened this morning,
I hadn't had a cup of coffee yet and forgot to bookmark the site. I'll
keep my eye open for one though.
