When I click on the "Share" tab on a website to send the page via email, the stupid AddThis Social Bookmarking Sharing Button widget page pops up with no way to make it stop. How do I get rid of this awful page and make sure it never comes back?

Vahaolana nofidina

You can try disabling pop-ups in Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pop-blocker-settings-exceptions-troubleshooting?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Pop-up+blocker#w_pop-up-blocker-settings.

If that is not enough, you will need to block the AddThis functionality with the NoScript add-on (maybe AdBlockPlus?).

If you just want to share the page's link, use the File menu option Email Link (if you don't want to manually copy and paste the link from your address bar).
