Just wondering, I have software that stops the pop-ups so I was all over the company and they said each site has pop-ups you can't stop.

So does anyone KNOW????? Does PC use pop ups?

Pop up ads to me are like those people that ask for Mr. Crew and cause I have a "boys" name as my first name I know the companies that make cold calls to sell them ocean front property in Arkansas. Used my start in which my helll started!

This isn't a definitive answer, just some observations. When I'm at PC I get neither popup ads nor the Firefox notice that it just prevented a popup from opening. I think that pretty well rules out unwanted popups.

Chat comes in a choice of popup or no-popup versions. Some kinds of editing (like status updates) are done in what looks to me just like a popup window. As I recall, you can choose to get a popup notification when a PM or something comes in. None of these look or act anything like the casino ads and other junk that some sites still manage to slip onto my screen occasionally in spite of Firefox.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
