i use whatever ones come with the browser itself... mostly just the tabs as mouse jestures with a trackball would be a bit tricky to learn at first
Gentlemen, we got 20 calls about the David Hyde-Pierce incident. And as you know, one call equals a billion people, which means 20 billion people were offended by this

Manual Pop Up fix

- go to about:config
- right-click and select New/Integer preference
- make a pref called "privacy.popups.disable_from_plugins"
- set the value 2




Also:


So, I guess everyone is wondering how to stop the new form of popup window that gets generated using a flash file called ffp.swf from fastclick. Well, it just requires a simple modification to your settings and you'll never even know they tried!

1. Go to about:config (type it in the address bar)
2. Set browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs to true (type "single" in the Filter to find it quickly)
3. Go to Tools > Options…
4. Select the Advanced tab
5. Check Force links that open new windows to open in:
6. Check the same tab/window as the link

That will also stop all those annoying target attributes spawning unwanted new windows.

However, some people may not want to block the target attribute completely, but everyone hates those pop-unders. To control whether or not a popup can actually pop under or not, that's very simple to. (There's no need to change the setting in about:config above before making this change)

1. Go to Tools > Options…
2. Select the Web Features tab
3. Select the Advanced… button
4. Uncheck Raise or lower windows
5. I recommend you uncheck all of them, except for change images, but that's your choice.
