Bookmark & Share pops up on certain web pages, even though I have the Block pop-up windows box checked under tools/options/content. Firefox is probably designed to work this way, but it is extremely annoying. If want to bookmark or share something, I will do it myself!! I do not need a pop-up trying to help me. Some pop-ups are necessary, but not this one.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I bring the mouse too close to some areas on some web pages.

I found a solution to this problem. If I block images from [s7.addthis.com], then the link totally disappears from the webpage, which is what I want.

Firefox doesn't come with a feature that deals with the sharing of bookmarks, probably caused by an addon.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+theme...

One example of what I am talking about is a Forecast page from the National Weather Service: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?CityName=Ocean+City&sta... The bookmark pop-up seems to be embedded into the web page.

Step-by-step for those who might not understand the solution above:

In Adblock: 1. Go to Preferences 2. Click Add Filter button 3. Add "s7.addthis.com" (without quotes) in the new filter window that appears 4. Press OK, then OK again to get out of Adblock screen

Go out of the webpage, then come back in, and you will see that the button for Bookmark and Share is gone for good.

Thanks for the question and solution, Anon -
