I have Firefox block pop-ups.  Firefox states in yellow bar, after the page loads that "Firefox prevented this site from opening a popup window."  The only thing is it did not prevent the popups.  Every time I open a new email, there's another popup window.  Here's one ad:

and another:

Every e-mail and every time I change directory (Inbox to Save etc) another popup window opens.

I have Firefox in work and at home on a laptop.  My settings are to not allow popup at both locations.  Still, Firefox does not prevent these popups from happening.

Thank you for your time and consideration with this bug report.

Please note that popups also happen when using the mail function at OUTGUN.COM

It's annoying and a reason to go back to IE.  I don't want to use IE, that's why I downloaded firefox.

IE blocks the popups.  Why can't firefox?
