I keep getting pop-up ads everytime I visit Drudgereport.com, the only way I've
found to prevent this is to turn off Java and Javascript before going there.
Please include in your next update a way to bypass Drudgereport's use of Java
and Javascript to get around Firefox's built in pop-up blocker. Thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just go to Drudgereport
2.at least one pop-up will get through
3.now more than one are getting through

Actual Results:  
More pop-ups got throug, ran spysweeper and it found no spyware.
