Bob Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 How do I prevent those bloody annoying animated banners, adverts, floating expanding adverts, etc. in Firefox without affecting the stuff that I want to see? Every time I go into my BTmail inbox I've got some dopy american tarts singing at me about the new McDonalds dog-burger, and it's pissing me right off! Any techy stuff from the many clever IT people we have here is appreciated But make it fairly idiot-proof for me, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I use Adblock (I think). Works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I use Adblock (I think). Works a treat. And Adblock is an plug-in for firefox too, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 And Adblock is an plug-in for firefox too, isn't it? I didn't know it was anything else! It comes up as a little red hexagon sign on the toolbar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I didn't know it was anything else! You're probably right. Hey - I know nothing about IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 You're probably right. Hey - I know nothing about IT. Me neither. Which probably explains why I can't afford a Corvette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
