If you, like me, read the Drudge Report on a fairly frequent basis, you're probably as sick of Drudge's Popup ads as I am. Drudge's slick java popups even manage to get around Firefox's popup blocker, which is otherwise very reliable.

Well, I'm glad to report that I've found a fix. You can click here to read the fix at the page where I found it myself, or you can just do the following:

To block pop-ups from plugins, open your Firefox browser, type about:config in the address field. Right-click in the resulting config page somewhere and select New -> Interger. Type privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins in the resulting dialog, hit OK, type 2 in the next dialog and you're all set. This pref can actually take three values: 0: open allowed 1: the opened windows are treated as popups, but they're allowed to open (we limit the number of these types of popups) 2: the window is a popup, block it

There ya go! Back to reading the Drudge Report without all of those %$*#&*@ popups!
