Snow looming...run!!
This is an old tip, but I have been having flash pop ups with Firefox so I started looking around and found this:
"Here's a great tip from Pete Bevin (via Dvorak) if, like me, you've been seeing a rash of popup windows in Firefox recently. It turns out these are being generated via Flash and escape the popup blocking in the browser.
"It turns out that some clever people figured out that you could launch popups from Flash, getting around the Firefox default settings.
Fortunately, you can get around it:

Fortunately, you can get around it:
- Type about:config into the Firefox location bar.
- Right-click on the page and select New and then Integer.
- Name it privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins
- Set the value to 2.
- 0: Allow all popups from plugins.
- 1: Allow popups, but limit them to dom.popup_maximum.
- 2: Block popups from plugins.
- 3: Block popups from plugins, even on whitelisted sites."
