[UNRELATED] How do I stop little blocked/allowed window?

OS: WXPpro
Browser: Firefox v4.0.1 (I like the Google toolbar)
I want to stop the little purple window that lists the various elements blocked or allowed on a particular webpage from popping up. It only stays visible for a few seconds, but I'd like to stop it from popping up at all.
Thanks in advance.

Screenshot?
Does NoScript do that?
If related to NoScript, have a look at Options | Appearance.

Options > Notifications, uncheck "Show message about blocked scripts".

A screenshot will be better, however, from your description (purple window) it looks like Ghostery is doing this, there is an option in Ghostery's settings that allow turning this notification off.

My bad. The "alert bubble" is associated with a Firefox extension called "Ghostery." I've now been able to deactivate it and all is well. Many thanks for pushing me in that direction. Cheers, b

Many thanks. You were right. It was Ghostery and I've now turned off the "alert bubble" notification. Issue resolved. Cheers, b
