They don't seem to give a **** and only want to bad mouth you and keep recommending FireFox.

Browsing through that site, I don't see any ads like that.
Or would that be region specific ?

The next time this happens, can you try to save the page ? Then use the 'add an attachment' link above to attach it to this bug.

The screenshot you provided in the URL field makes this look suspiciously like an AdBrite monstrosity.  Unfortunately, the AdBrite nasty ads are hard to block in a user-friendly manner (see bug 580256 comment 4): we can block the overlay, but then scrolling is broken on the page that the ad covered :-(

If it is an AdBrite nasty-ad and you can't find a "Skip This Ad" to click, that's probably part of what we fixed in bug 580256; missing "Skip This Ad" links should be back in Camino 2.0.4, which should be released later this week.

The full page ads have stopped since I complained to them as well (so, I guess it WAS them).

Thanks for the help, please take a look at my NEW bug: Missing buttons! As that happens on SH now too. I don't know if it's because of the updates to Camino or what.

Closing this WFM, then.

Deleting my profile also solved other issues on this and other sites as well. (But let's let SodaHead think it's their fault. LOL!)
