How to block pop-under opening new window

Post by Xircal »

Actions to reproduce:

Go to http://www.phuketgazette.net/ and click any article. It will load a full page ad to http://partner.phuket.net/info/compare/ ... pe=desktop which opens full page in a new window as a pop-under.

I've tried adding the URL to the custom filter list and also adding it as ||partner.phuket.net/info/*

Neither of these options succeeds in preventing FF45.0.1 loading the new window unfortunately.

Is there a way to do this for specific sites?

OK, thanks. I've also made a note about the Easylist forum to post to next time.

I just noticed this pop-under. I haven't looked at the Phuket Gazette's site for months, but did today.

I have just added "0.0.0.0 partner.phuket.net"

to my Hosts file in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc"

Hopefully that will stop it.

Shame on Phuket Gazette.
