How do I block a Java Pop-up on this site?
When you open this site: "http://se.investing.com/economic-calendar/" you get some sort of pop-up if it's your first visit of the day.
I have pop-up blocked on Firefox and I use AdBlock, so the pop-up actually comes up blank. I don't know, I guess it's some kind of Java pop-up.
But my question is, how do I get rid of this pop-up that shows everyday I'm checking this calendar? Can I do it on Adblock?

This lightbox pop-up is opened via inline JavaScript, so you would need to block this script or you would end up with a dimmed page.
if (screen.height >= 768 && screen.width >= 1024)
{
$("#mainPopUpBannerDIV").html('<iframe src="http://se.investing.com/ad_iframe_dart.php?width=600&height=425&adunit=FP_SE_site/FP_SE_Interstitial_Default;sz=600x425" style="width: 600px; height: 425px;" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="No" frameborder="0"></iframe>');
t=setTimeout("openLightBox('mainPopUpContainer', 675, 500)",750);
}
Thanks!
Two questions: 1. How did you find that out? 2. How do I block it? The only security addons I currently use are BetterPrivacy, DoNotTrackMe, and AdBlock. Since these are taking care of most of the security issues (as far as I understand) I have quit using NoScript and FlashBlock.
I don't know of a way to prevent that pop-up from opening.
You can try to ask on the MozillaZine forum.
Maybe someone knows if it is possible to do this.
