Do you have ad blocking turned on?

I have the default FireFox adblocker turned on.

Ive turned mine off recently

Me too, it was blocking most .swf and movie images :-(

I have the adblock turned on for certain sites that have numerous pop-ups, but on other sites i have it disabled.

I have Firefox Adblock Extention installed and turned on... I don't like seeing advertisements

Does the firefox adblock extension only block popups or all advertising? Can you see the adverts on forums? e.g Talkfreelance/Webhostingtalk etc.

Firefox blocks popups by default, the adblock extension does not do this.

Adblock is for specifically blocking images, i-frames or .swf's

You have to block each individual image/ad with adblock, it doesn't block them all by default.

I use it to block almost all extraneous advertising imagery from most websites. This greatly reduces page load times and bandwidth used.

The way to circumvent this Robson, is to use css's background image tags.

I use the FF extention adblock too but I only block ads on sites that I feel use too many ads.

Btw, you can block all ads/images on a site by using wildcards (*).

I couldnt see any of the ads on here, since I cant be asked to buy the latest norton anti-virus I can

I only have FF's default pop-up blocker turned on... and recently, I've been getting more and more pop-ups that don't get blocked.
