Since upgrading, I've been getting a ton of pop-ups. If you update, you should ACTUALLY make it better.

Ever since I upgraded to the newest Firefox (Beta or not), the sites I most commonly use are suddenly making pop-ups appear all the time. PLEASE do something to fix this, or I'm done using Firefox. This would be a statement, not a question.

-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect all unwanted toolbars

-> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on ALL Options -> click "Clear Now"

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http:www.google.com -> place Checkmark on "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" -> select Radio Button option2 "Always ask me where to save files"

-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:

1) Block Pop-up windows

2) Load images automatically

3) Enable JavaScript

You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

So I tried that whole long list of things to do to fix the problem and I was still getting all the pop-ups.

Then, mysteriously and magically, 2 days later they stopped, and a little tiny bubble pops up and says "blocked."

So it works, and I thank you so much for your help, but for anyone else that might have this problem, it did seem to take a little while for the effects to be laid in place.

Thanks again!
