mikep56 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi All,In Firefox, when browsing and you mouse over a word with a double line underneath it, an advertisement window pops up that is associated with that word. I find this really annoying...is there any way to disable it?Thanks in advance.mikep56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikep56 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 Hi Kel,After some googling, I found out that it is called in-text advertising. The way to disable it is to roll over with the mouse so the ad pops up. There will be 2 boxes in it's title bar, an X to close it and a ?. Click on the ? and follow the instructions to disable these annoying little MF'ers.MikePS Kel I hope that you are feeling better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 I also see this a lot while browsing the webs with Maxthon. It doesn't annoy much because when a window pops up, I just move the mouse to another position and the window closes down itself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
