When at this guys links:

He has started enabling a drop-down window that floats over the page asking the reader to "Subscribe to free updates".
But I already subscribe to his RSS feed. So I find this window annoying. The FF popup window blocked doesn't stop this window.
Is this some kind of script generated window? Can NS stop this?

It is script generated. I don't think NoScript can't stop this if you Allow
ilovefreesoftware.com. I'm using Adblock Plus too. I added the following filter to Adblock Plus. That seemed to stop it.
Code: Select all

OK, that worked Alan. Thanks!
So how did you know how to code that statement? What did you look at?

I looked in the Adblock Plus Blockable items pane and looked at the address for each of the scripts served from ilovefreesoftware.com. I noticed that two of them have the word "popup" in the address, so I double-clicked on one of them and created a filter which would match those two but none of the others. It was just an educated guess, but it seems to work.

Hello,
I am administrator from
http://www.ILoveFreeSoftware.com (the website in question). The pop-up window is supposed to come just once for each user, and never again. Is it coming repeatedly for you?
It makes use of cookies (to find that pop-up window has already appeared for a user). Are cookies enabled on your browser?

Hi. Thank you for the information. I'm not the original poster (OP), but I have Firefox configured to delete cookies when I close the browser. I noticed that I needed to restart the browser to get the popup again, so I figured it was flagged with a cookie. As far as I can tell, the cookie is working as you intended. I guess the OP isn't allowing it in the first place or is automatically removing it when the browser is closed.

I am the OP. No, I am not accepting cookies for your site (I don't accept cookies for most sites).
