Scott F,
"Adblock, what's adblock and why hasn’t anyone mentioned it before?"
I can't begin to count how many times it has been discussed here on the 'Fire.
Scott, I thought you were running Ubuntu. What browser?
If you are running Firefox, Adblock Plus is an add-on that blocks that nonsense.
I am running a Windoze system with Firefox and Adblock plus, and I am having no popups - ever. (So far, at least)
Myron
I was figuring Scott was being a wiseazz...LOL. As often as ad block has been mentioned.
