Firefox, recieving popups with IE.
|
|
|
| I am using the latest version of firefox, plus extra installed popup
blockers. I continually get those annoying popups coming through using IE.
IE is not running, if I could uninstall it I would but I heard it can cause
problems. Any ideas?

Check your system for spyware, adware, viruses, trojans, etc.

IE is *ALWAYS* running in Windows. What probably happening is FireFox is
executing a Javascript from some site you're visiting, and that Javascript
explicitly launches an IE window to display the pop-up. Have you tried
disabling Javascript? If that works, there is a "NoScript" extension for
FireFox that allows you to configure script behavior on a site-by-site
basis.

Firefox cannot open an external program.
