Regardless, Firefox is still much more stable then IE. It's faster, runs better, and doesn't tie up your system.

Agreed. I have gotten the occasional popup from Firefox which has left me shocked, but I can't imagine how many I would get just in one day if I started using IE again...

/me shivers at the thought

Even the best programs can be slipped around, I suppose.

And, like everyone else said, no matter what, ANYTHING is better than IE.

I think I've gotten a grand total of about....6 Firefox pop-ups.

im sure they'll tweak its popup blocker soon. i've seen 2, but since they opened outside firefox in a new window, and everything i do opens in a new tab it has yet to bother me. only times i've noticed on thoes 2 i've seen was because i closed firefox and went to get out of the chair and noticed the little popup window still open. looked at it for a sec and said.. huh, we'll i'll be damned...... *alt f4* *walked away*

It's not Firefox's fault. The advertisers are just finding ways around the blockers. The same thing has been happening to me on Safari. I've NEVER had a pop-up using Safari, but in the past month or so I've had about two. I checked to make sure my block was activated and it was so the pop-ups are getting smarter. It was bound to happen sooner or later.

FireFox has become very slow on my PC. When I open it, it sometimes takes 10 seconds before the window appears. And other programs are much faster in the same situation.

I also hate it when I hit the 'back' button (or backspace) and it doesn't show the part that I was reading before, but goes back to the top of the page. It happens pretty randomly I think.
