Pop-ups from one particular company (casalemedia.com) are getting through no
matter what I do to block it. Here is the View Source for one of these ads and
the image-path of a second one

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Happens randomly. Today it happened from the URL 

http://www.realitytvworld.com/index/articles/story.php?s=1003078


Actual Results:  
I used the right-click "block pop-up" function, as I have in the past. Doesn't
appear to affect casalmedia.com pop-ups

Expected Results:  
Blocked casalmedia.com pop-ups

Just a comment: Mozilla Firefox is great -- MUCH better than Internet Explorer
-- and I've been singing its praises to anyone I talk to when the subject of
computers comes up.
