I have never once had a problem until recently. I upgraded to the latest version of firefox and instantly I am getting swamped with pop ups. I checked that the pop blocker is turned on and it is. Please tell me there's an easy fix because I really don't want to switch from firefox. I have been a loyal fan for years please keep up the good work. Thanks for your time and effort.
