When I went to Yahoo today, 12/2/13, there was some big flash ad across my screen. Never seen that before. Anyone else seeing this?

You could possibly avoid it by removing yahoo.com from the whitelist and only allowing specific subdomains (enable Options - Appearance - Full Domains to make these appear on the menu).

Thanks Thrawn - blocking yahoo.com stops it from appearing.

Yeah, yahoo.com has rather a lot of subdomains, many of which are related to advertising etc. But without a bunch of them (which I think depends on your region), Yahoo Mail won't work.

Today, the flash ad is not appearing even though I whitelisted yahoo.com again. I'm running Windows 8, Firefox 25.0.1, noscript, flashblock, ghostery, adblock. Weird but glad it is gone.
