    Since the latest tweak I have been getting Advertiser Popups. Don't make me have to add this site to my popup blocker blacklist.

    Is there some way you can show a screen capture or detail who you're seeing pop-ups from? The closest I can say I've seen is a small floating box for our own Special Runs.

    We don't have pop-up ads.

    OK, weird. I just got one, too, just after opening TB.

    If it happens again, I will. Haven't gotten it to repeat.

    Had one try in bottom right corner just after you came back on after this last upgrade. Dark box, with a checkmark, but my ABP killed the content.
    5 trackers on this page alone, Ghostery kills them all off. Tried to find what had showed up, no record.

    That's not a pop-up ad. It's a forum notice that can be easily dismissed.

    I am wondering if that is what he saw.

    I had a full , new FF window, without menu, with large ad. But, didn't think to take a screen shot. Will watch if happens again

    Never seen anything like that. That would be evidence of a hacking so we would need a screenshot.

    Narrow bar, dark, no data in it other than the X or check mark.

    Is this at the bottom right? If so, that's the counter for the TB Special Run car sales, which used to be a banner at top.

    Only did it once. Looked sort of like your hover balloons on forum titles, that colour and shape, but narrow vertically and no data.

    Sorry, Apparently there is a malware on my computer that is causing random popups on random sites. It just happen to start while I was on here.
