I can nnot figure out how to stop this netflix add from popping up in my Firefox
browser.  This is the address of the site that invades my
space...http://view.atdmt.com/NFX/iview/yhxxxnfx0020000014nfx/direct/01/&time=1108428470487026?click=http://us.ard.yahoo.com/SIG=12946754g/M=298184.6018725.7038619.3001176/D=groups/S=1705074484:HM/EXP=1108514870/A=2532114/R=0/*...A
mile long address and no matter what I do with my protection (firewall, adblock.
all the spybot removers) this thing will pop up....up to 100 plus times
sometimes!!  Please HELP!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.OPen Eudora-it pops up even if I'm  not using my browser
2.open any email from any friend-it activates this pop up
3.sometimes when trying to close my browser it opens again with this pop up

Actual Results:  
sometimes it went away but was sure to pop up with the next email to be read. 
Super annoying.....

Expected Results:  
I do not expect Firefox to start unless I initiate it myself.  Somehow my email
is initiating it to start and it goes to this netflix add page.  I have no
interest in netflix.

my eudora mail program gets minimized and this browser add takes over my screen.

This sounds like a problem in Eudora and not in Firefox. I did find some mention
of this behavior in a forum at Eudora. 

See <http://eudorabb.qualcomm.com/showthread.php?t=1965&highlight=netflix>

I recommend that you check the settings in Eudora to see if something has been
changed to cause this behavior. Be sure to turn off the ability to execute
scripts in email. Also check that you have a current, up-to-date version of
Eudora. You didn't mention what version of Eudora or if it is sponsored or not.

You could always try Mozilla Thunderbird for an email client.

-> INVALID.
