Pop-ups not being blocked
I have the latest Firefox (18.0.2) on Mac 10.7.5. A few days ago I updated it with the latest Java (7_13) because we use some software in my company that requires it.
Before the update, Firefox blocked two pop-up ads on my company's web site (www.lawtechnologynews.com).
After the update, the pop-ups are no longer blocked. I made sure the pop-up blocker is still enabled and that our domains are not excepted.
Any ideas?

by magicratI figured out that during my Java and Firefox updates, I somehow lost the ad blocker extension. Reinstalled that, and now it works fine.
